About the Role
The Urban Mobility Directorate relies on the processing, analysis, and interpretation of many geospatial datasets to make recommendations regarding planning, design, investment in and operation of urban transport systems. We are seeking a highly experienced Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Data Analyst to join our team to provide leadership, guidance, and expertise in this newly created position.
You will be at the heart of directing the flow of geospatial data using GIS software and tools to manage, maintain and continually improve the quality of information provided to peers in Urban Mobility and across the Transport Portfolio. You will lead complex GIS and spatial data tasks, manage spatial data requirements, and ensure consistency with processes and practices used across DoT and other government agencies.
