Day to Day:

This position will support the maintenance and operation of our client's mapping and GIS application by maintaining, reporting, and posting work or by gathering data to be inputted. Essentially, the GIS QC Tech receives jobs (work orders) that are sent in from designers and engineers and they will validate the accuracy of the work. The work orders contain a multitude of information such as prints, customer information, and the details on all the facilities that were installed in that particular job. After reviewing the information associated with the job, the technician will verify everything was accurately created in G/Technology (their internal mapping system). We provide all new hires training to learn G/Technology since it is not widely known.

On a day to day, the GIS QC tech is responsible for reviewing a set of jobs that meet the client's quota. A new GIS tech always begins on the simplest form of work and as they develop their skills they will progressively be given more difficult work types. The tech will primarily be working independently but should be comfortable collaborating with team members with group projects and to stay up to date on any standards changes made by the client.
