Overview
Summary : Under general supervision, is responsible for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) work of average difficulty in the analysis and evaluation of equipment and software applications for GIS development; and performs related work as required.
Distinguishing Features : This is the working level class in the Geographic Information Systems Analyst sub-series. An employee in this class performs advanced spatial analysis; custom designs software applications and analyzes and evaluates equipment and software applications necessary for GIS development programs. This class differs from GIS Assoc, in that incumbents of the latter perform at the entry level. This class differs from GIS-Adv in that incumbents of the latter either perform at the advanced working level in the central information systems division for the State or supervise subordinate GIS analytic staff.
Responsibilities
