    About the Role

    We’re looking for a GIS Analyst with strong technical skills, municipal infrastructure experience, and an interest in helping build out a growing GIS program from the ground up. This is a great opportunity for someone who understands both the technical side of mapping and the broader planning or public infrastructure context.

    If you’re a GIS professional with a background in utility mapping, municipal data, and dashboard creation, and especially if you hold or are pursuing a Professional Planner license (PP or AICP), we’d love to hear from you.

    What You’ll Do

    • Build, manage, and maintain ArcGIS Online dashboards and maps for municipal clients
    • Integrate survey and utility data into usable, accurate GIS layers
    • Map infrastructure systems such as stormwater, sanitary, and roadway assets
    • Collaborate with internal survey and engineering teams to ensure clean data transfer
    • Support municipalities with compliance and reporting related to asset mapping
    • Help define GIS standards, workflows, and department best practices
    • Optionally support planning-related initiatives if you hold a PP license

    Ideal Candidate Profile

    • 5–10 years of GIS experience, preferably in civil infrastructure, public works, or municipal planning
    • Expert-level knowledge of ArcGIS Online, Esri tools, and web-based dashboard creation
    • Experience working with field data (e.g., survey points, utility scans, shapefiles, GPS/GNSS input)
    • Familiarity with NJ municipal operations, DEP requirements, or MS4 stormwater mapping initiatives
    • Strong communication skills, able to engage with town officials, engineers, and surveyors alike
    • Self-directed and detail-oriented with an interest in building systems that scale

    Bonus Qualifications

    • Professional Planner license (NJ PP, AICP) or strong planning background
    • Experience working with sanitary and stormwater infrastructure
    • Familiarity with Civil 3D, Carlson, Trimble, or survey software
    • Experience with federal or state grant compliance (e.g., infrastructure funding tracking)
    • Comfort leading client training on dashboards and data access tools

    Why Join This Team?

    Make a real impact: Help towns map and understand the infrastructure they rely on every day

    Department-building opportunity: You'll help shape GIS workflows, standards, and tools from the ground up

    Public-sector focus: Work with clients who care about the long-term usability of your work

    Cross-functional collaboration: Work alongside planners, surveyors, and engineers - not in a silo

    Stability and growth: Be part of a respected, long-established firm with a strong municipal reputation
