The selected candidate will play a key role in managing enterprise GIS data models, ensuring data quality and accuracy, and supporting integration between Esri ArcGIS and enterprise asset management platforms.
Responsibilities
- Develop and document geospatial data models and schema for critical transportation infrastructure assets (e.g., bridge structures, roads, signals, signs, rail) for the PANYNJ EAM geodatabase environment.
- Create and maintain comprehensive master and metadata for the EAM Program data dictionary (referred to as ARID) for all EAM-related geospatial features, attributes, and domains.
- Assist with the design, implementation, and ongoing maintenance of the Linear Referencing System (LRS) and associated Linear Referencing Methods (LRM) for the EAM Program.
- Assist with defining technical specifications and coordinating the creation/curation of authoritative base maps for EAM operations.
- Implement and document procedures for geospatial data validation and quality control to ensure positional accuracy, completeness, and adherence to defined standards.
- Collaborate with the Technology Department (TEC) and the Asset Management Support Services (AMSS) team to define the technical architecture for seamless, bi-directional exchange and synchronization of asset data between the GIS platform (Esri ArcGIS) and the Enterprise Maximo Platform (EMP).
- Collaborate with TEC and AMSS to document system architecture and spatial workflows.
- Design, publish, and manage map and feature services that serve as the authoritative source of asset information for web and mobile applications.
