Taking ownership of technical solutions from pre-sale through post-sale execution, you will partner with Project Managers to build deployment schedules, mitigate technical risks, and manage technical change control.

  • NGCS Data Provisioning: Work closely with emergency communication agencies to provision, optimize, and maintain spatial data for geospatial call routing within Next Generation Core Services (NGCS) environments.
  • Data Auditing & Validation: Identify and educate customers on errors, gaps, and inconsistencies in their spatial data, cross-referencing GIS layers with imagery, neighboring jurisdiction datasets, and legacy records (ALI and MSAG).
  • Customer Consulting & Education: Guide agencies on NENA standards, public safety GIS best practices, and long-term strategy aligned with their specific operational needs.
  • Workflow Optimization & Standardization: Standardize, optimize, and document internal and external operational workflows-including Data Compliance and Remediation Plans, the Spatial Interface (SI) Administration Guide, and GIS Change Request processes.
  • Automation & Innovation: Identify opportunities to automate internal GIS operations, championing developer-led tools or creating scripts to improve team workflows, while researching new methodologies and technologies to increase operational efficiency.
  • Services Opportunity Identification: Identify and report potential professional services opportunities based on evolving customer interactions and industry standards.


Qualifications & Skills:
  • Advanced ESRI Expertise: Senior-level proficiency with the ESRI software ecosystem, including ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise, and ArcGIS Online in production environments.
  • Public Safety & NENA Standards: Extensive understanding of Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1), NGCS architecture, geospatial call routing, cartographic mapping principles, and NENA standards.
  • Legacy Data Integration: Deep experience cross-referencing and reconciling spatial datasets against legacy databases, such as Automatic Location Identification (ALI) and Master Street Address Guide (MSAG).
  • Automation & Scripting: Demonstrated proficiency in Python or other scripting languages to automate complex spatial analysis, data processing, and quality assurance workflows.
  • Enterprise Databases & Spatial Analysis: Advanced experience working with relational databases, spatial data modeling, and complex spatial analysis.
  • Client & Stakeholder Management: Superior interpersonal and conflict-resolution skills, with a proven ability to communicate complex architectural concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Project Leadership: Demonstrated ability to manage multi-faceted technical projects, control scope, mitigate project risks, and hit critical project milestones.
  • Must have a deep knowledge of ArcGIS Server/Portal, SQL Server/PostgreSQL databases, and Python scripting for spatial automation.
  • Must have a clear understanding of public safety spatial requirements, NENA NG9-1-1 data standards, or i3 system architecture as required for this position.
