Job Description

The GIS Technician will create and maintain high-quality geospatial data and cartographic products by working with complex datasets and advanced mapping software. This role focuses on performing geometric corrections, orthorectification, and conflation of multiple datasets, as well as implementing changes to existing data to ensure accuracy, consistency, and usability for a variety of mapping and analysis needs.

Responsibilities

• Produce clear, accurate cartographic outputs using professional GIS and mapping software.
• Work with large and complex geospatial file structures, ensuring data is organized, accessible, and well documented.
• Perform geometric fixes and corrections to improve the spatial accuracy and integrity of geospatial datasets.
• Execute orthorectification processes on imagery and other spatial data to correct for sensor and terrain distortions.
• Conflate multiple geospatial datasets, integrating and aligning them to create unified, consistent data layers.
• Update and modify existing datasets to reflect new information, corrections, and enhancements.
• Handle geospatial data derived from satellite and other remote sensing sources, ensuring proper integration with existing data.
• Collaborate with team members to understand mapping requirements and deliver reliable geospatial products that meet project needs.
• Maintain high standards of data quality, documentation, and version control for all geospatial work.

Essential Skills

• 1 years of hands-on experience with ArcGIS Pro or similar GIS software tools.
• Strong understanding of geography and geospatial concepts.
• Proficiency in working with geospatial data, including vector, raster, and imagery datasets.
• Ability to perform cartographic design and map production using professional mapping software.
• Knowledge of geometric corrections, orthorectification, and conflation techniques.
• Bachelor’s degree in Geography or Geology, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience working with satellite-derived data and remote sensing imagery.
• Familiarity with broader geospatial workflows, including data integration and quality control.
• Ability to communicate geospatial concepts and results clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Interest in staying current with advancements in GIS, mapping software, and geospatial technologies.

Work Environment

The role begins with approximately one month of on-site training in a conference room setting to ensure a smooth onboarding and thorough understanding of tools, processes, and expectations. After training, you may work 100% remotely if that best fits your needs. If you prefer to work in the office, you will be in an open seating environment with approximately 80–100 colleagues in a shared area, while still working independently on your own tasks. The dress code is relaxed; jeans and a T-shirt are acceptable, and business casual attire is also welcome if preferred. Standard hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with the option to work four 10-hour shifts instead of five 8-hour days, allowing for a set but flexible schedule that can be tailored to your needs. The position relies heavily on modern GIS technologies, including ArcGIS Pro or similar geospatial software, and involves regular work with digital geospatial datasets and satellite imagery in a professional, supportive environment.

This is a Contract position based out of Loveland, CO.

The pay range for this position is $17.00 - $17.00/hr.
