What are the responsibilities and job description for the Geospatial Systems Supervisor position at Blood Hound Underground Utility Locators?
Job Description
Location: Remote, United States
Company Overview
The law requires you to call 811 to have public utilities marked before you dig. However, public utilities will only locate the facilities they own – electric, gas, oil, sewer, telephone, and water. The vast majority of underground utilities are privately owned, which is why you need to make Blood Hound your second call.
Blood Hound locates ALL underground utilities and structures and offer a range of highly specialized subsurface utility services to significantly reduce your risk of costly damages and project delays and mitigate safety hazards for your crews and community.
Blood Hound’s Geospatial Division is leading the evolution of utility mapping and subsurface data collection. Our work combines Multi-Channel GPR, UAS LiDAR, mobile scanning, and advanced GIS tools to deliver high-resolution 2D and 3D mapping data for engineering and construction clients nationwide.
Summary
Blood Hound is expanding its Geospatial Division and is seeking a Geospatial Systems Supervisor. As Geospatial Systems Supervisor, you’ll be a key contributor to how this technology connects across teams—helping shape workflows, train personnel, and bring new mapping innovations to life.
This position is ideal for a technically driven leader who thrives in both field and office environments—comfortable supervising production workflows, improving GIS systems, and supporting field teams with new technology. The Geospatial Systems Supervisor will play a key role in optimizing how data flows from collection through deliverable, bridging CAD, GIS, and field operations for large-scale projects.
