As a GIS Technician I/II, you will help maintain and enhance the district’s GIS database and mapping applications. You will directly maintain both spatial and tabular data related to the water transmission and distribution system which spans roughly 700 linear miles! To do this, you’ll review engineering drawings, reports, legal maps and a variety of datasets. Your attention to detail and quality control practices must be exceptional.

You will work closely with construction crews and operations staff in the office and occasionally in the field. You will need to communicate GIS and GPS concepts in clear, down-to-earth ways for users who may not be as familiar. Your customer service should be so exceptional and approachable that staff naturally feel comfortable coming to you for help. Your creativity will be needed when building effective maps, reports and solutions.
