ITnova is seeking a Part-Time EAM Geospatial Specialist to support the design, development, and maintenance of geospatial data and systems for critical transportation infrastructure. The selected candidate will play a key role in managing enterprise GIS data models, ensuring data quality and accuracy, and supporting integration between Esri ArcGIS and enterprise asset management platforms.
Responsibilities
- Develop and document geospatial data models and schema for critical transportation infrastructure assets (e.g., bridge structures, roads, signals, signs, rail) for the PANYNJ EAM geodatabase environment.
- Create and maintain comprehensive master and metadata for the EAM Program data dictionary (referred to as ARID) for all EAM-related geospatial features, attributes, and domains.
- Assist with the design, implementation, and ongoing maintenance of the Linear Referencing System (LRS) and associated Linear Referencing Methods (LRM) for the EAM Program.
- Assist with defining technical specifications and coordinating the creation/curation of authoritative base maps for EAM operations.
- Implement and document procedures for geospatial data validation and quality control to ensure positional accuracy, completeness, and adherence to defined standards.
- Collaborate with the Technology Department (TEC) and the Asset Management Support Services (AMSS) team to define the technical architecture for seamless, bi-directional exchange and synchronization of asset data between the GIS platform (Esri ArcGIS) and the Enterprise Maximo Platform (EMP).
- Collaborate with TEC and AMSS to document system architecture and spatial workflows.
- Design, publish, and manage map and feature services that serve as the authoritative source of asset information for web and mobile applications.
- Design, configure, and deploy user-friendly Web Maps and Web Applications (using ArcGIS Online/Portal, Experience Builder, or Field Maps) tailored for specific EAM workflows (e.g., inspection planning, maintenance work order creation, asset inventory review).
- Ensure map components and applications are intuitive and meet end-user business requirements.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Geographic Information Systems, Geographic Information Science, Geography, Computer Science, Information Science, Data Science, Engineering or a closely related field.
- Minimum of 5 years of progressive professional experience utilizing GIS in a transportation, public works, or asset management environment.
Preferred Qualifications
- Expert knowledge of the Esri ArcGIS Platform: ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise (Server/Portal/Online), and mobile applications (Field Maps, Survey 123).
- Strong expertise with enterprise geodatabases: data management, versioning, and replication.
- Demonstrated experience in defining and implementing a Linear Referencing System and Linear Referencing Methods (LRM) within a transportation or utility network
- Certified Geographic Information Systems Professional (GISP)
- Experience integrating GIS with a major EAM/CMMS platform (e.g., Maximo, SAP, AssetWorks).
- Experience with CAD integration and conversion of engineering plans to GIS features.
- Knowledge of maintenance and asset life cycle management
- Knowledge of asset hierarchy modeling
- Knowledge of data pipeline tools and scripting/programming languages.
- Superior oral, written, presentation, and deck building skills.
- Proven problem-solving, negotiation, conflict resolution, and customer management skills.
- Experience working cross-functionally with varied business lines and stakeholders, demonstrating effective communication at all levels, including executive-level communications.
