We are looking for a GIS Analyst to join our team and support spatial data analysis, mapping, and geospatial decision-making across various projects. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), data visualization, and spatial analysis. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to collect, manage, and interpret geospatial data to support planning, development, and operational initiatives. As a GIS Analyst, your primary responsibilities will include creating and maintaining GIS databases, producing high-quality maps and reports, and conducting spatial analysis to identify trends and patterns. You will also be responsible for integrating GIS data with other business systems and ensuring data accuracy and integrity. Your work will directly contribute to strategic planning, environmental assessments, infrastructure development, and emergency response planning. You should be proficient in using GIS software such as ArcGIS, QGIS, and other geospatial tools. Experience with programming languages like Python or R for geospatial analysis is a plus. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex spatial information to non-technical stakeholders are essential for success in this role. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work on diverse projects in sectors such as urban planning, environmental management, transportation, and utilities. If you are passionate about geospatial technology and want to make a meaningful impact through data-driven insights, we encourage you to apply.
