• Mentor, coach, and supervise technical and administrative personnel.
• Project Delivery
• Manage full project life cycle, including planning, execution, monitoring, and closing, using industry best practices.
• Employ Agile (Scrum), Waterfall, or hybrid methodologies, as appropriate, ensuring the project meets objectives within scope, schedule, and budget.
• Develop, maintain, and report on project plans, schedules, milestones, risks, quality, and deliverables.
• Technical Oversight
• Oversee the technical design, development, and deployment of upgraded geospatial solutions using ESRI ArcGIS Pro, Python, client-server architectures, and modern data interfaces.
• Ensure the new BAPS system maintains compatibility with CIS, adheres to current Client/USCG cyber and enterprise architecture standards, and fulfills daily operational requirements.
• Direct systems integration, database migrations (Oracle to SQL Server), and environmental data ingestion procedures.
• Lead operational and acceptance testing, user training, and rollout activities.
