What are the responsibilities and job description for the GIS Technician position at BRS?
SpecPro Sustainment & Environmental is seeking a GIS Technician to provide geographic information system (GIS) support for data management, spatial analysis, and cartographic production. The GIS Technician will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining GIS databases, analyzing digital datasets, and producing maps that integrate geographically referenced data. This role involves applying GIS principles, using specialized software, and ensuring data accuracy to support engineering, environmental, and infrastructure projects.
The GIS Technician will be responsible for managing and maintaining complex GIS databases, analyzing and interpreting digital data sets, maps, aerial photography, and other spatial datasets. This includes performing GIS data conversion, transformation, and spatial analysis while applying professional cartographic techniques to develop maps and map series. The role requires a thorough understanding of GIS principles, concepts, and methodologies, including coordinate systems, transformations, and projections. Responsibilities also include utilizing digital data input methods such as digitizing, scanning, coordinate geometry, and georeferencing to support infrastructure and environmental projects. The GIS Technician will work closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure data integrity and produce high-quality cartographic products and other presentation materials using GIS software.
Required Skills/Abilities:
All offers are contingent upon a thorough background check conducted on all final candidates, as deemed necessary and per State and Federal laws. SpecPro offers a full competitive benefits package and is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA): All contractor personnel accessing proprietary, classified, or confidential information related to USACE acquisitions must complete and sign a USACE contractor NDA before beginning work.
