Spatial Data Integration: Integrate and analyze spatial data from various sources, including GIS databases, remote sensing data, and web services, to support project objectives and decision-making processes.
Custom Tool Development: Develop custom geo-processing tools and scripts to automate spatial analysis, data manipulation, and workflow optimization tasks.
Mapping and Visualization: Create interactive maps, dashboards, and visualizations using ESRI tools and libraries to communicate spatial analysis results and insights effectively.
Technical Support: Provide technical support and assistance to end-users, troubleshoot GIS software issues, and address customer inquiries and requests.
Documentation and Training: Create and maintain technical documentation, user guides, and training materials for GIS applications and tools.
Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Computer Science, or a related field.
Proficiency in Python programming language, including experience with ArcPy for GIS automation and scripting.
Strong understanding of GIS concepts, spatial data structures, and coordinate systems.
Experience with JavaScript programming language and web development frameworks (e.g., React, Angular) for building interactive web-based GIS applications.
Familiarity with ESRI products and platforms, including ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS API for JavaScript.
Knowledge of geo-processing tools and spatial analysis techniques for GIS data manipulation and visualization.
Strong database management skills, including experience with GIS databases (e.g., Enterprise Geodatabases on SQL Server) and SQL querying.
Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail, with a passion for delivering high-quality GIS solutions.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team environment.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with geospatial data formats and standards, such as Shapefile, GeoJSON, and OGC standards (e.g., WMS, WFS).
Knowledge of spatial analysis libraries and tools, such as Pandas, GDAL, Fiona, and Shapely.
Previous internship or coursework in GIS development, geospatial analysis, or related fields.
Understanding of agile software development methodologies and practices.
