About The Position

We're looking for a GIS Analyst who's ready to dive into geospatial data and help shape the future of infrastructure projects. In this role, you'll be the go-to person for transforming spatial data into meaningful insights that help guide utility operations and infrastructure planning. You'll kick things off by working with project managers to understand the scope and strategy, then dive into the data to uncover patterns and opportunities. You'll spend your days collaborating with engineers and stakeholders, making sure everyone's on the same page and that the geospatial solutions you deliver are aligned with business needs. Whether it's performing spatial analysis, updating GIS systems, or troubleshooting technical issues, you'll be hands-on and proactive. You'll also play a key role in maintaining data quality—running QA/QC checks, documenting workflows, and making sure everything is accurate and up to standard. And when your teammates need help using GIS tools or understanding the data, you'll be there to support and train them. From project ramp-ups to cross-functional teamwork, your contributions will help drive smarter decisions and more efficient operations across the board.
