- Familiarity with electric utility systems and GIS data models (e.g., Esri Utility Network, geometric network).
- Experience with APIs, web services, and system integration.
- Understanding of data collection methods including GPS and mobile field tools.
- Experience with utility GIS platforms.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop GIS-based applications, tools, and custom scripts to support electric distribution operations.
- Maintain and update spatial databases (e.g., electric network model, land base, and asset data).
- Integrate GIS with other utility systems such as OMS, SCADA, CIS, and AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure).
- Create and maintain automated workflows for data updates, reporting, and mapping.
- Work with field crews and engineering staff to validate and correct asset data.
- Provide training and support to internal users of GIS tools and applications.
- Produce detailed and accurate maps, reports, and visualizations for planning, analysis, and regulatory compliance.
Other
- 2+ to 5 Years of GIS development experience, preferably in a utility or electric distribution environment.
