This role requires expertise in GIS development, Esri Utility Network (UN), and data transformation tools like FME. The ideal candidate will have 8–12 years of experience in GIS development, with a strong focus on utilities (Gas, Electric, Water, Telecom) and enterprise GIS systems. The role also involves creating APIs, optimizing GIS application performance, supporting data migrations, and leveraging modern cloud and web mapping frameworks. Responsibilities Lead the design, development, and deployment of GIS solutions using Esri technologies, including ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise, and ArcGIS Online. Implement and configure Esri Utility Network (UN), including network rules, topologies, and asset configurations. Design and develop customized GIS applications and tools using ArcGIS Pro SDK, ArcObjects, Python (ArcPy), and other programming frameworks. Create APIs and web services for cross-platform connections and enable real-time data synchronization between GIS and other systems. Develop automated procedures and data processing workflows for managing spatial datasets connected to utility networks. Optimize GIS applications for performance, scalability, and reliability in enterprise environments. Oversee data migration projects, including migration from legacy systems (e.g., GE Smallworld, Geometric Network) to Esri Utility Network, leveraging FME for data transformation. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support utility operations, asset management, field data collection, and network analysis. Utilize field data gathering technologies such as Field Maps and Survey123 to support field operations. Stay updated on advancements in Esri technologies and recommend innovative solutions to meet business needs. Document development processes, workflows, and best practices for future reference. Provide technical leadership and mentorship to GIS developers and analysts. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in GIS, Computer Science, or a related field. 8–12 years of experience in GIS development, with a focus on Esri technologies and utilities. Strong expertise in Esri technologies, including ArcGIS Pro (3.x), ArcGIS Enterprise (10.9.1 and higher), and ArcGIS Online. Proficiency in GIS development using Esri SDKs and APIs (e.g., ArcGIS JavaScript API, ArcGIS Pro SDK, ArcGIS Runtime). Advanced Python scripting skills (ArcPy) for geoprocessing, automation, and data workflows. Hands-on experience with FME (Feature Manipulation Engine) for data transformation and integration. Experience with geodatabase maintenance and spatial databases such as PostgreSQL (preferred), Oracle, or SQL Server. Knowledge of web mapping services (REST, WFS, WMS) and spatial formats (e.g., GeoJSON, GDB, WKT, SHP). Familiarity with custom ArcGIS Experience Builder and cloud environments (AWS, Azure) for GIS solution integration. Strong understanding of utility network models and workflows in the utilities domain (Gas, Electric, Water, Telecom). Proven experience in data migration from legacy systems (e.g., GE Smallworld, Geometric Network) to Esri platforms. Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills. Strong communication and leadership skills to manage cross-functional teams and stakeholders. Preferred Qualifications: Experience with Agile development methodologies and tools like Jira or Azure DevOps. Knowledge of additional programming languages such as C#.Net, JavaScript, or Java. Certification in Esri technologies (e.g., Esri Developer Associate, Enterprise Administration Professional) or FME. #LI-AT1 EEO Statement TRC is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
