Summary

Delta Oaks Group is seeking a GIS Specialist to support our telecommunications, fiber/linear route (corridor) and infrastructure projects by producing accurate, decision-ready geospatial deliverables, including route-based design and permit mapping (e.g., Design Fiber/As-Fiber style deliverables). The successful candidate will perform spatial data creation and analysis, develop web maps and dashboards, support permit/submittal mapping, and maintain clear metadata and documentation standards. Ideal applicants will be fluent in ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS Online workflows and comfortable leveraging Python to streamline repeatable GIS tasks and improve data quality, while communicating GIS concepts effectively to non-GIS users.

Positional Responsibilities

The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of GIS data management, cartographic standards, and geospatial analysis workflows, and will serve as a GIS resource for internal teams and project stakeholders. Excellent communication skills are essential, as the role involves coordinating with project managers, engineers, environmental staff, and external partners to produce consistent, high-quality geospatial products.

  • Develop and maintain linear route/corridor GIS datasets to support fiber planning, design, and permitting, including centerline/alignment features, route segmentation, and jurisdictional overlays.
  • Produce route exhibits and permit-ready mapping for linear infrastructure (e.g., DF/AF-style permit designs), ensuring accuracy and compliance with local requirements.
  • Create route-based deliverables such as before/after prints, construction callouts, address lists, and BOM-style reports (or comparable route quantity/asset summaries) to support engineering and construction.
  • Support telecom/fiber network route design by drafting and updating linear network features (e.g., strands/cables) and coordinating iterative design updates with engineering and drafting teams.
  • Perform QA/QC on linear route deliverables by validating spatial alignment, attribute consistency, and completeness of route documentation supporting project approvals
  • Develop, edit, and manage geospatial datasets to support project planning, design, and permitting documentation.
  • Create high-quality maps, figures, and visualizations to support decision-making, internal reporting, and client deliverables.
  • Support fiber/telecom projects by preparing mapping inputs and exhibits for design and permitting packages (e.g., design vs. as-built mapping concepts, alignment/corridor exhibits, parcel overlays, and jurisdictional constraints).
  • Perform spatial analysis and data integration (e.g., boundaries, utility features, constraints screening, and data QA/QC) to ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency across deliverables.
  • Build and maintain clear metadata documentation and standardized GIS data organization to improve accessibility and long-term usability.
  • Develop and maintain ArcGIS Online content, including web maps and lightweight applications (e.g., dashboards/instant apps/experience builder solutions) for internal and client-facing project tracking where appropriate.
  • Utilize scripting/automation (Python preferred) to streamline repetitive GIS workflows, improve data QA, and accelerate production.
  • Collaborate with engineers, drafters, and project managers to ensure geospatial deliverables align with design intent and project requirements; help streamline workflows and reduce rework.
  • Communicate GIS concepts and outputs clearly to non-GIS stakeholders and provide practical guidance on data use and limitations.
  • Support internal QA/QC by reviewing GIS outputs and associated documentation for accuracy, cartographic quality, and consistency with company standards.

Due to the nature and limited timelines of most projects, the selected individual should be willing and capable of exhibiting the work ethic and social ability to succeed in a fast-paced environment where communication with co-workers and strategic partners is paramount.

Computer Software Requirements

  • Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Microsoft Excel
  • Adobe Acrobat
  • ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS Online
  • Google Earth
  • Local Jurisdiction GIS systems

Experience/Minimum Requirements

  • GIS experience producing spatial analysis and cartographic deliverables for infrastructure, telecom/fiber, utilities, or related industries.
  • Demonstrated proficiency with ArcGIS Pro and geospatial data editing/management, including data QA/QC and deliverable production.
  • Experience developing and maintaining metadata documentation and organized GIS databases/datasets.
  • Ability to develop mapping and GIS datasets that support permitting/submittal documentation and project approvals.
  • Working knowledge of GIS automation or scripting (Python preferred) and the ability to apply it to GIS workflow improvements.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to translate GIS outputs and concepts to non-GIS stakeholders.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines, and maintain high-quality standards in a fast-paced environment.

Culture

Delta Oaks Group is founded on the principle of delivering unparalleled client service and providing its employees an exceptional work environment. We strongly believe that these two principles are not separable and are only accomplished through hard work, honesty, and treating others with respect. We are seeking individuals that share those same values.

Educational Requirements

Associate degree in Geographic Information Systems, geography, planning, environmental science, engineering, or a related field. Applicants without a degree and with over 5 years of applicable GIS experience will also be given consideration.
