• Configure field data collection tools for biological surveys, cultural resource inventories, and site assessments; and developing web maps, dashboards, and Experience Builder applications used directly by project teams and clients.
• You will write Python for automation, data pipelines, and custom tools, and manage code in shared Git repositories with code review and basic CI practices.
• You will also support remote sensing and machine learning workflows when projects call for them.
• You will collaborate closely with biologists, hydrologists, planners, cultural resources specialists, engineers, landscape architects, and other GIS analysts. The diversity of disciplines on the team makes the work engaging and underscores the importance of strong communication and time management alongside technical expertise.
