Full position description and application procedure can be found at: http://cooswatershed.org/employ Closing date is February 1, 2017 with a start date of April 3, 2017. Job Title: GIS Technician
Agency: Department of State Lands – South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve Salary: $20.48/hr Other Benefits: None Start: February 1, 2017 Position Duration: Approximately half-time/21 months Job Location: Charleston, OR (near Coos Bay on the south-central Oregon coast) Job Summary: The purpose of this position is to provide GIS support for a land use and zoning analysis for the Coos estuary. Contact: Jenni Schmitt: 541.888.8270 x 312 (jenni.schmitt@state.or.us) Project Background: As the sixth largest estuary on the US west coast, the Coos estuary is one of Oregon's most valuable estuarine resources, both in its abundance, diversity, and quality of natural resources and in its economic and cultural values. However, modern management of the estuary and surrounding shorelands is based on the economic and social drivers of the 1970’s era within which local land use plans were developed. In order to identify areas where zone change will benefit estuarine management, this project will synthesize existing information to compare actual uses of estuarine and shorelands to zoned uses. For areas where lands are underutilized, have conflicting zones, or whose zone designations are now obsolete, team members, end users, and stakeholders will apply a triple bottom line lens (economic, social, and environmental) to generate scenarios that Coos County can use to improve its estuarine and shoreland management.

The Plan will include information vital to fire management activities in order to protect resources while enabling the safe, effective, and fiscally-responsible management of wildland fires. Information requested from the CDIFP for the FMP includes the identification of sensitive areas that may experience negative or positive effects from fire and how to accommodate those; special status species and their habitats and how fire may impact them; culturally sensitive areas and how to mitigate the effects of fire; retardant avoidance areas that include both waterways and others; and any other values that may need special consideration. The project will include but is not limited to compiling multiple hardcopy notes and digital files from various formats and consolidate them into datasets representing wildlife observations, archeological observations, remote camera data, vegetation measurements, and climate information. Database design will be needed to consolidate multiple formats and table structures. Datasets should be in database and geodatabase formats. Additionally opportunities will be provided to participate in other resource science and stewardship projects. The GIS Technician will perform duties related to a broad spectrum of projects including, but not limited to, wildlife, cultural, and travel management.
