## Description

ABOUT THE ROLE As a GIS Analyst I, you will serve as a foundational pillar for our physical fiber infrastructure and spatial database integrity.
Youll partner closely with engineering design, field operations, and senior GIS team members to ensure our digital map databases and physical network inventories are pristine, accurate, and actionable.
We are looking for a team player who naturally operates with quiet humility, focusing on collective victories over personal recognition.
You are hungry and self-motivated, constantly seeking ways to improve workflows and dive into complex spatial problems without needing constant oversight.
Above all, you possess strong people smartscommunicating with empathy, clarity, and tact when supporting internal colleagues, field crews, and external partners.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - Spatial Editing & Digitizing: Perform routine spatial data collection and digitization to build and maintain enterprise digital map databases and physical network inventories. - Fiber Network Mapping & Inventory: Input and manage physical fiber connections, including detailed strand-by-strand mapping using specialized fiber software. - Quality Assurance & As-Built Verification: Review daily field reports, cable drop locations, and contractor redline edits against engineering plans to fix line misalignments, missing tags, or disconnected spans. - Data Conversion & Integration (ETL): Execute Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) workflows to convert CAD drawings, spatial files, and spreadsheets into spatial databases.
Apply standard mapping templates to incoming designs and manage project versioning. - Web Mapping & Mobile Deployment: Configure interactive web maps, pop-ups, and spatial dashboards for internal departments (Sales, Customer Support, Operations).
Package and deploy offline mobile map packages for field technicians. - Spatial Analysis & Automation: Conduct core spatial analysis using geoprocessing tools and simple automation scripts (e.g., Python) to improve efficiency. - Stakeholder & Leadership Support: Produce clear, executive-ready map layouts and visual reports highlighting network footprints, route expansions, rights-of-way, and utility pole paths for management, investors, and permitting authorities. - Technical Writing & Documentation: Create clear standard operating p ocedures (SOPs), documentation, and basic training guides for GIS tools and workflows. - Cross-Functional Collaboration: Provide responsive, approachable technical support to field workers and internal stakeholders experiencing GPS sync issues or display discrepancies.
