• Compile regular reports summarizing GIS data status, project milestones, and subcontractor performance.

Mapping and GIS Support

• Oversee the production and maintenance of maps that display streetlight locations, conditions, and service areas using QGis, ArcGIs Pro and others. 

• Support GIS analysis or visualization tasks as needed to assist planning or reporting.

• Coordinate with GIS specialists or subcontractors for more complex spatial analyses and mapping needs.

Training and Technical Oversight

• Train and support team members and subcontractors on GIS data standards, workflows, and quality requirements.

• Identify opportunities for process improvement or automation to enhance efficiency and consistency.

• Stay informed about new GIS tools and technologies and recommend improvements where beneficial.

Documentation and Compliance
