Organization: Farmers Conservation Alliance
Title: GIS Specialist Location: Hood River, OR Application Deadline: Posted: 2018-06-14 Position Description: GIS SPECIALIST HOOD RIVER, OREGON – FULL-TIME (EXEMPT) Farmers Conservation Alliance is a 501(c)3 organization that operates at the intersection of water, energy, and agriculture. The work of the GIS Specialist will encompass data management, map production, spatial analysis, and field data collection. WHEN YOU WORK FOR US, HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL FIND Our staff of 20 engineers, scientists, public policy experts, and strategy consultants believe that everyone can win –farmers, rivers, and communities. We formed 13 years ago to successfully bring an innovative fish screen technology to market. This farmer-developed technology, now known as the Farmers Screen, helps to keep fish and debris in rivers and out of water supplies. Since that time, our work has expanded to help farmers modernize all aspects of their water delivery systems and to apply the Farmers Screen technology across all sectors. Staff work with water users, agencies, and organizations to design, finance, and implement large-scale solutions and technologies that improve water supplies, reduce operation and maintenance costs, and generate fish-friendly hydropower. Our headquarters in Hood River, Oregon, inspires staff in both their professional and personal lives. Hood River’s abundant apple, pear, and cherry orchards and salmon-bearing streams provide daily context for our work. The Columbia River Gorge and nearby Mt. Hood provide endless opportunities for hiking, paddling, cycling, skiing, and kiteboarding. Hood River’s 1-hour commute to Portland lets staff live in a small, family-friendly town while also having easy access to all of the amenities that the city has to offer. SO THAT’S US. NOW ABOUT THE WORK FCA seeks a unique individual for its GIS Specialist, ideally with a background in spatial data management and analysis. In a typical week, GIS Specialist could expect to work with a broad spectrum of personnel from within FCA, ranging from engineers and hydrologists to technical document writers to institutional funders and irrigation district board members. GIS work will vary on a day to day basis; flexibility and time management will be a key skill in executing tasks associated with multiple projects across all sectors of FCA. Example tasks could include analyzing geospatial data and creating visually intuitive map products, developing geodatabases for engineers to use in hydraulic modeling, or field collection of geospatial data across Oregon. AN IDEAL CANDIDATE WOULD HAVE, AMONG OTHER ASSETS MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS • A bachelor’s degree in GIS, geography, environmental science, natural resources, or applicable engineering discipline (civil or environmental) • 1-4 years of experience in the private or public sector with GIS applications in natural resources, environmental science, and/or engineering • Experience working with agricultural and/or environmental communities, organizations, and/or individuals • A keen eye for visually appealing and easily understandable spatial data displays and excellent verbal and written communication skills • Extensive experience working with ESRI Products (ArcGIS Suite) • A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation • The ability to traverse uneven ground such as stream beds and agricultural fields.

June 20, 2018 – Charleston, OR June 21, 2018 – Tillamook, OR Using and Interpreting Estuary Habitat Maps 8:30 am – 3 pm Course Description An estuary presents a complex array of habitat types that can vary from place to place, depending on underlying physical structure and the characteristics of its waters, sediments and biota; and from one estuary to another. Changes in land use, water, climate, and development increase the complexity of managing estuaries. To help plan, monitor, protect, restore and conserve habitat, managers need a common language and set of terms to compare data, account for local conditions, describe habitat and map estuarine environments. This course introduces a comprehensive system to classify estuarine environments, using simple standards and common terms, for interpreting maps using geographic information system (GIS) tools. Who should take this course? Floodplain and estuarine managers including planning, mapping, science, regulatory or related staff. You will learn how to: · Characterize estuarine environments using a system of complementary settings and components to describe observed features. · Match specific aspects of the physical environment with associated organisms and biological communities. · Make apples-to-apples comparisons of estuarine environments at regional, national, or global scales. · Organize data and compare results using common terms and a flexible framework. · Modify your descriptions to account for unique features. · Use GIS tools to interpret estuary habitat maps, at the desired level of detail, to meet different needs. · Incorporate classification information in GIS metadata. Continuing education credits will be available from the American Institute of Certified Planners – American Planning Association.

Location Yamhill County Public Works Department 2060 Lafayette Avenue, McMinnville, Oregon 97128 Salary $18.00/hour Supervisors Susan Aldrich-Markham, Professor Emeritus, Oregon State University John Phelan, Director, Yamhill County Public Works Department Michael Crabtree, Senior Conservation Technician, Yamhill Soil and Water Conservation District, Project Overview Yamhill County Public Works Department (YCPW) recently initiated the GIS Roadside Vegetation Inventory in order to collect georeferenced data on significant features within roadside rights-of-way. These features include Native Plants, Invasive Plants, Erosion, and Optimal Vegetation. The GIS Roadside Vegetation Inventory is part of the implementation of the Yamhill County Roadside Vegetation Management Plan adopted in February 2016. The data are managed using Esri ArcGIS software. Data are collected using a Trimble Juno 5B GPS handheld computer with ArcPad and transferred into ArcMap on a laptop computer. It is regularly uploaded to the larger Yamhill County ArcGIS database. The GIS Roadside Vegetation Inventory database, particularly the native plants section, is currently in the draft phase. It will need to be revised over the project period in order to more completely capture significant attributes that YCPW can use to make roadside vegetation management decisions. The data collection procedure and the performance of database on the Trimble GPS will need to be optimized. Beginning in June 2018, the project will expand to involve a newly-created Invasive Species Program Coordinator position at the Yamhill Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), which was funded partly through a cooperative agreement with YCPW and partly through a grant from the Oregon State Weed Board. As the Invasive Species Program develops over the summer, the person in the Coordinator position will gradually take on a greater role in managing the GIS Roadside Vegetation Inventory and in collaborating with YCPW to determine the specific task list for the GIS Interns. Requirements
Tasks – Interns will cooperate as partners on most tasks.
