Responsibilities

• Maintain a deep understanding of GIS data models supporting electric utility distribution systems. Network connectivity, asset modeling, and topology configurations.
• Experience supporting migrations from geometric network or legacy GIS models to Utility Network.
• Ensure GIS data supports OMS requirements including network tracing, switching, and outage prediction.
• Maintain data quality, validation rules, and topology integrity.
• Assess GIS model readiness for downstream operational systems including OMS and ADMS
• Define modeling standards and best practices to support scalable integration
• Design and advise on integrations between GIS and OMS platforms.
• Ensure accurate network model representation for outage analysis and restoration operations.
• Support data synchronization, data mapping, and transformation processes between systems.
• Develop and maintain interface specifications, data flows, and integration processes.
• Troubleshoot and resolve integration and data consistency issues.
• Support model alignment between GIS connectivity and OMS network models.
• Identify integration risks and data gaps early in project lifecycles and recommend mitigation strategies
• Configure and support Esri ArcGIS Enterprise, Utility Network services, and related components.
• Collaborate with OMS vendors and internal teams on data requirements and model alignment.
• Support testing activities including system integration testing and user acceptance testing.
• Monitor system performance and recommend improvements.
• Work with utility engineering, operations, outage management, and IT teams to gather requirements.
• Translate business and operational needs into GIS and OMS model designs.
• Provide technical documentation and model standards.
• Support production deployments and operational support activities.
• Support presales, discovery, and early-stage solutioning efforts by articulating GIS and integration dependencies to internal and external stakeholders
• Communicate complex technical topics to project managers, directors and executive audiences

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in GIS, Engineering, Computer Science, Geography, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 5+ years of GIS experience supporting utility environments.
• Hands-on experience with Esri ArcGIS Enterprise and Utility Network configuration.
• Experience with ArcFM for electric utility GIS solutions.
• Experience modeling electric utility distribution networks.
• Experience integrating GIS with OMS or other operational systems.
• Strong understanding of electric distribution network connectivity, network topology and tracing concepts, data modeling and system integration principles
• Experience with Python, SQL, or scripting for data management and automation.
• Experience with web services, APIs, and data exchange methods.
• Strong expertise in Esri Utility Network architecture and configuration, utility electric network modeling expertise, GIS data governance and data quality management, systems integration and interface design
• Analytical and troubleshooting skills
• Cross-functional collaboration
• Technical documentation and communication skills
• Ability to operate effectively in a matrixed consulting environment
• Ability to balance delivery execution with advisory and presales support

Preferred skills:

• Experience with major OMS platforms (e.g., GE/Oracle/Siemens/ADMS environments).
• Experience with Utility Network migration projects.
• Knowledge of CIM or utility data standards.
• Experience supporting outage management workflows.
• Experience with ArcGIS Pro SDK or automation tools.
• Experience working with system integrators or utility consulting environments.
• Understanding of utility operations, switching, and restoration processes.
• Experience providing technical leadership or advisory support across multiple projects or teams.
