Key Responsibilities

GIS and Spatial Analysis

• Develop, manage, and maintain GIS databases, geospatial datasets, and mapping systems.
• Perform advanced spatial analysis, geoprocessing, and data modeling to support project requirements.
• Integrate, analyze, and interpret spatial data from multiple sources, including surveys, satellite imagery, drones, GPS, LiDAR, and remote sensing platforms.
• Produce high-quality maps, spatial reports, dashboards, and visualizations for technical and management purposes.
• Conduct site suitability studies, spatial risk assessments, environmental impact analyses, and corridor alignment studies.
• Support geological, hydrogeological, geotechnical, environmental, and infrastructure projects through GIS-based analysis.
• Develop and maintain geospatial standards, workflows, and data management procedures.

Data Management and Database Administration

• Design, implement, and maintain geodatabases and spatial data repositories.
• Ensure data integrity, accuracy, consistency, and security of geospatial information.
• Manage coordinate systems, projections, georeferencing, and metadata documentation.
• Develop and implement quality control procedures for GIS data and deliverables.
• Maintain GIS servers, web mapping services, and enterprise GIS environments where applicable.

Remote Sensing and Geospatial Technologies

• Process and analyze satellite imagery, aerial photography, drone surveys, and LiDAR datasets.
• Generate digital elevation models (DEMs), terrain analyses, and land-use/land-cover maps.
• Support environmental monitoring, groundwater studies, and infrastructure planning through remote sensing applications.
• Utilize image classification and spatial modeling techniques for project-specific analyses.

Project Management and Coordination

• Participate in project planning, proposal preparation, and technical methodology development.
• Coordinate with engineers, geologists, hydrogeologists, environmental scientists, surveyors, and project managers.
• Monitor project schedules, deliverables, and resource requirements.
