Implement and maintain backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity procedures for the GIS environment.
Administer software licensing and support deployment of ArcGIS Pro and related Esri applications to end users.
Collaborate with cartographers, analysts, and IT staff to support geospatial data workflows and resolve system-level issues.
Document system configurations, standard operating procedures, and change management activities.

Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills, with the ability to work independently in a mission-driven environment.
Due to the nature of the work we support, all candidates in consideration for this role must be willing to undergo the government issued background investigation process. We highly encourage all Veterans and those with disabilities to apply.
