• Mapping & Visualization: Create, update, and maintain high-quality thematic maps, layouts, and exhibits to support engineering teams, project managers, and client presentations.
• Database Maintenance: Populate, update, and manage spatial databases. Perform Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) checks to ensure geometry and attribution adhere strictly to project and client metadata standards.
• CAD Drafting Support: Assist engineering teams by drafting and modifying detailed 2D layouts, site plans, and utility networks based on sketches, field data, and design specifications.
• Spatial Analysis: Perform basic spatial analysis queries, buffer operations, and data overlays to assist in constraint mapping and site suitability evaluations.
• Collaboration & Support: Work closely with GIS Analysts, CAD Managers, and Design Engineers to troubleshoot technical data issues and optimize data-sharing workflows.
  
  
  

What Required Skills You'll Bring

• Education: Bachelor’s degree or Diploma in GIS, Geomatics, Civil Engineering, Geography, or a closely related technical field.
• Experience:
• Minimum of 5 years of professional experience actively working with both GIS and CAD platforms.
• Prior experience working on large-scale infrastructure, utilities, or urban planning projects is highly desirable.
  
  
  

What Desired Skills You'll Bring

• Technical Expertise:
• Proficient in ESRI software suites, particularly ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online.
• Proficient in Autodesk software, specifically AutoCAD and Civil 3D.
• Strong understanding of coordinate systems, map projections, datums, and spatial data structures.
• Experience with data automation tools like FME (Feature Manipulation Engine) or Python scripting is a major plus.
