GIS Technician

Join us in this role where you’ll provide mapping and database support to the Ørsted Region Americas GIS team while learning about the onshore renewables industry (wind, solar, storage) and contributing to the delivery of geospatial products for multiple aspects of the full project lifecycle (development, construction, asset management, and/or operations).

Welcome to Geographic Information Systems
You'll be part of the GIS team where you will work closely with your colleagues to create exceptional geospatial analysis products, maps, and web-based GIS applications. Duties are performed under the supervision of the Senior Director, GIS. Our team embraces new challenges and perspectives while developing geospatial products and processes and providing mapping and GIS technology support across multiple disciplines.

You’ll play an important role in:

1. Supporting GIS Analysts with tasks such as downloading and formatting data for project maps, file format conversions, and updating parcel datasets.
2. Leveraging ESRI ArcGIS Enterprise platform and SaaS products to create maps and geospatial products under technical supervision using internally standardized datasets, layouts, and templates.
3. Maintaining project geodatabases consistent with GIS team best practices.
4. Identifying and participating in training opportunities in support of the team and individual professional growth goals.

To succeed in the role, you:

1. Have an associate's degree or equivalent training and/or work experience in a geospatial field or technology (e.g., geography, GIS, CAD).
2. Have experience working with ESRI ArcGIS platform products, including ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online.
3. Possess strong communication skills.
4. Can multitask and prioritize needs.

Maybe you’ve read the above and can see you have some transferable skills, even though they don’t quite match all the points. If you think you can bring something to the team, we still encourage you to apply.
