You will help organize and maintain our ArcGIS Enterprise environment, support ArcGIS Field Maps and geological mapping, and make spatial information easier for geologists to discover, trust and use. The role may be based in Toronto, Ontario; Salt Lake City, Utah; or Elko, Nevada.
Working closely with the Regional Geosciences Data & Analytics Manager, the Geospatial Solutions Lead and project geoscientists, you will combine strong Esri expertise with an understanding of geology, fieldwork and 2D/3D geoscience data. This is a specialist delivery role-not a team leadership or software engineering position.

Organize and maintain ArcGIS Enterprise (Portal for ArcGIS) content, groups, web maps, hosted and referenced feature layers, services, permissions, metadata and ownership across Exploration projects.
Publish, update and troubleshoot ArcGIS Server services and GIS content; support ArcGIS Online collaboration where used, and maintain existing web maps, ArcGIS Dashboards and Experience Builder applications.
Configure and support ArcGIS Field Maps, including offline maps, GNSS/GPS observations, mobile forms, field data synchronization and related ArcGIS Survey123 workflows where appropriate.
Work directly with exploration geologists to prepare geological and structural maps, project geodatabases, spatial compilations and interpretation-ready GIS products.
Handle diverse 2D and 3D datasets-geology, geochemistry, drilling, geophysical survey products, satellite Other duties as assigned
imagery, LiDAR, elevation models and surfaces.
Convert and quality-check raster, vector, CAD, geodatabase, imagery and tabular spatial formats; apply sound coordinate-system, metadata and data-integrity practices.
Help teams find existing maps, surveys, historical project information and authoritative GIS sources; maintain clear project GIS documentation.
Support exchange of spatial information with Leapfrog Geo and acQuire workflows; collaborate with the Geospatial Solutions Lead on enhancements and integrations.
Work closely with the Geospatial Solutions Lead and geologists to improve workflows; remain open to learning and using approved AI assistants or agent-based tools for GIS documentation, troubleshooting and repetitive tasks, with appropriate review of outputs.
