How Your Day Flows
You'll start onsite in American Fork by reviewing incoming requests and prioritizing GIS updates. Most of the day is spent building or refining map layers in ArcGIS, checking attributes, and validating geometry so the information is dependable. You'll shift between screens and source materials-plans, drawings, and field notes-then translate them into clean, standardized records. When a map needs a polished finish, you'll format graphics for clear distribution and, as needed, move into AutoCAD Map 3D to align drafting outputs. You'll also spend focused time tightening datasets, keeping the data base organized, and using ArcGIS Online to publish or refresh content for internal use.

 - Produce map outputs and graphics for projects; support drafting needs with AutoCAD Map 3D
 - Organize and update data base content; perform quality checks and version control
