This is a unique role for the GIS community, and we are excited for this team member to join our group. This position is open to both new college graduates and experienced GIS professionals. 

Location: New Mexico- priority location (must be willing to relocate to New Mexico, relocation assistance will be provided- This is NOT a remote based role); Texas- secondary location as listed above

Travel: This is a regional position that will be supporting the New Mexico/Texas region and will partner with the Southwest Regional GIS lead. This position will require frequent travel to project sites as needed to actively support field teams.

This position offers opportunities at both levels I and II, allowing candidates to apply based on their experience and qualifications. Compensation for this role is determined based on factors such as experience and location. 

RESPONSIBILITIES 

This position will interface frequently between Solar field and design project team members to help drive project integration and technology innovation, implement GIS standardization across field teams, drive GIS adoption, host GIS trainings, and support overall VDC initiatives. Effective partnership with our E&I (Energy and Infrastructure) groups, Lean, Industrialization and field-integrated teams will be critical for the success of this position. The role will initially report to the Director of Integrated Technology and VDC for the Solar Group.
