• Proven cartographic or graphic design skills including the creative and effective use of color, symbology, and annotation

THE DETAILS

The right candidate will have a mix of the following skills or experience:

• Familiarity with GPS data collection and GNSS units
• Work experience or education in environmental sciences, especially experience organizing and querying chemistry or environmental data
• Desire to work specifically in an environmentally focused practice, with an understanding or interest in learning about environmental sampling, environmental remediation, and engineering practices
• Familiarity with relational database design and systems, like MS-Access and SQL Server
• Experience using AutoCAD, and with using and manipulating AutoCAD data within a GIS framework

Beyond your relevant experience, we’re looking for someone with the following qualities:

• Attention to detail – You know that the little things matter, and that accuracy builds trust. Getting the details right allows the viewer to focus on the key message.

Most of your day-to-day work will entail making figures for reports, creating cartographic products to explore patterns in spatial data, and preparing coordinate data to load into our database. You’ll have the opportunity to work closely with other GIS and technical staff to prioritize workload, discuss task completion methods, collaborate on tool development, and develop work products that speak to a variety of audiences with differing levels of technical knowledge. You’ll also be able to participate in our Data Services Committee and Professional Graphics Group, where we develop process improvements and explore new data visualization strategies based on project needs and industry trends; in this capacity you’ll exercise your creativity to identify practical GIS-based solutions and to develop scripted workflows.
