  • ​Form working relationships with project staff as a go-to person for GIS development and analysis in support of the GIS manager and overall outcomes. 
  • ​Manage day-to-day platform development and support in conjunction with the GIS Manager and lead developer.
  • ​Provide high-level GIS analysis and the creation of new spatial content to support the project.
