  • Document and update GIS-related processes and contribute to VDC E&I integration and Project Execution Plans (PXP).

  • Experience with GIS data management, spatial analysis, geoprocessing, data QA/QC, and systems implementation planning.
  • Intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Office and relevant web/project applications.
  • Strong customer service and communication skills.
  • Current driver’s license and ability to travel frequently to sites.
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship; visa sponsorship is not offered.
