ELOS Environmental, an Aventia Company (ELOS) is seeking a GIS Lead to assist a multidisciplinary team of accomplished GIS professionals and environmental scientists including biologists, ecologists, archaeologists, and project managers on a variety of projects. The GIS Lead is responsible for processing and managing spatial and tabular data in a variety of formats (.gdb, .shp, .kmz, .dwg (AutoCAD), Trimble, field notes, etc.). The ideal candidate will work collaboratively with staff to create maps, exhibits, and figures to support technical reports.

  • Create spatial data from multiple non-spatial sources and formats using digitization and georeferencing techniques demonstrating a firm understanding of geographic coordinate systems, datums, and projections.
  • Integrate new data into existing geodatabases and convert attributes between multiple domain schemas.
  • Utilize GIS applications to examine the locations, attributes, and relationships of features in spatial data through overlay and other analytical techniques.
  • Configure and troubleshoot various GPS devices and mobile data collection applications.
  • Utilize GIS applications to perform advanced spatial analysis or data conversion or manipulation. Use applications and scripts to create automated geoprocessing workflows.
  • Work with GIS-related software and programs to create and maintain a database and/or maps that can be combined to create geographically correlated data.
  • Develop Web Maps/Apps/Dashboards for use on ArcGIS Online (AGOL) and Portal in conjunction with Collector and Survey123.
  • Bachelor's or Master's in GIS, Geography, Environmental Science, or related discipline.
  • 7+ years of GIS experience with at least 2-3 years in a leadership or management role.
  • Advanced proficiency in ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and geodatabase management.
  • Experience with spatial modeling, environmental analysis, and data visualization.

  • Understanding of contracting, scoping, and budgeting for GIS work.
  • Strong grasp of market trends and client needs in the environmental sector (e.g., ESG, compliance mapping, permitting workflows).
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills - able to convey complex spatial ideas to non-GIS professionals.
  • Experience managing or mentoring teams, leading cross-functional collaboration.
  • Comfortable working with executive stakeholders, regulatory agencies, and technical staff.
  • Familiarity with environmental regulations and permitting (e.g., NEPA, CEQA, FERC, EPA, USACE).
  • Experience supporting environmental projects: site assessments, biological resources, environmental impact studies, etc.
  • Experience with remote sensing, LiDAR, and UAV-derived data is a plus.
  • Proven success in developing and managing GIS projects in environmental consulting or related fields is a plus.
