THE POSITION
The Bureau of Construction and Materials is looking for a skilled Geospatial Analyst to leverage their expertise in geospatial analysis to aid in construction planning. This position, based in Dauphin County, involves designing and developing intricate geospatial products while managing the planning, coordination, and execution of impactful geospatial projects across the program. Additionally, the role includes supervising Geospatial Specialists who conduct technical and analytical work within the Photogrammetry Surveys Section of the Engineering Automation and Services Division.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
In this position, you will be responsible for conducting sophisticated geospatial analyses and supervising the application of spatial model development, data fusion, bare earth modeling, and topographic feature recognition to create and present geographic solutions.
