Key Responsibilities:
- Provide expertise in GIS mapping, infrastructure, tools, and techniques to align LADBS's capabilities with modern, GIS-based permitting workflows in LACPS.
- Create and maintain GIS-based building layers, especially for LADBS retrofit programs, ensuring all new permits and inspections within LACPS have accurate geospatial references.
- Use GIS tools to automate workflows for LACPS, replacing manual processes from the legacy PCIS system, to improve data accuracy and reduce processing times.
- Configure, troubleshoot, and manage GIS map services to be used by LACPS and future applications, ensuring consistent and reliable GIS functionality across platforms.
- Develop Python scripts to automate data processing and editing tasks within GIS layers, facilitating data consistency and quality control.
- Perform spatial and tabular queries on GIS layers and LACPS data to provide comprehensive data for reporting and analysis.
- Use Python, ArcGIS, and PL/SQL to create and update scripts focused on data quality, ensuring LACPS maintains a high standard for geospatial data.
- Oversee the building footprint feature class and associated GIS services, monitoring and optimizing them for LACPS needs.
- Collect, interpret, and report on geospatial data usage metrics to support data-driven improvements and future GIS enhancements for LACPS.
- Collaborate with third-party consultants and partners to ensure GIS data aligns with business data, configure GIS and web server environments, and deliver multi-layer maps and related data accurately.
Key Skills:
- 13+ years of experience in GIS analysis and mapping.
- Strong proficiency in GIS concepts, technologies, and industry-standard tools (e.g., ESRI ArcGIS 10.x).
- Experience with Python scripting and SQL for data quality checks and workflow automation.
- Ability to manage geospatial data, including data loading, conversion, and metadata maintenance.
- Familiarity with GIS software (ESRI ArcGIS, ArcView, ArcEdit, ArcInfo) and programming languages (Python, SQL, PL/SQL).
- Knowledge of civil, architectural, or electronic engineering drawings.
- Experience with GIS and web server setup and configuration.
- Basic knowledge of web technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery.
- Experience working with government agencies.
