Brooklyn / Manhattan, NY
Hybrid role (3 days onsite per week)
Compensation: $30 - $35 per hour
Level: Associate
ABOUT THE ROLE
Our client is seeking a detail-oriented and proactive GIS Project Specialist to support the Phase 3 go-live of an enterprise geospatial platform rollout within a large utility environment. This associate-level, hybrid position is based in Brooklyn/Manhattan, NY, and is ideal for candidates who are organized, communicative, and comfortable managing workstreams independently with minimal day-to-day direction. The role is business-facing and project-oriented, with a primary focus on project and change management, end user readiness, functional testing, and user acceptance coordination. The specialist will collaborate closely with change management teams, develop and maintain training materials and user documentation, serve as a liaison between technical and business stakeholders, and ensure data accuracy and integrity within GIS databases. Additional responsibilities include performing spatial analysis, producing visual reports, assisting with data migration and platform administration, supporting quality control reviews, and providing ad hoc support as the platform transitions to steady state. A background in the utility industry and familiarity with GIS platforms such as ArcGIS or ESRI are preferred.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Support Phase 3 go-live activities, including end user readiness, functional testing, and user acceptance testing (UAT) coordination
- Work alongside the change management team to ensure smooth adoption of the platform across business units
- Develop, maintain, and update job aids, training materials, and user-facing documentation to facilitate user onboarding and ongoing support
- Serve as a liaison between technical teams and business stakeholders, translating requirements and ensuring clear communication
- Track open items, escalate blockers, and keep workstreams moving toward milestone completion
- Maintain and update GIS databases, ensuring data accuracy, integrity, and consistency across systems
- Perform spatial analysis and interpret geospatial data to support business and operational decision-making
- Produce maps, dashboards, and visual reports for internal stakeholders and project teams
- Assist with data migration, layer configuration, and platform administration tasks during rollout phases
- Support quality control reviews of GIS data submitted by internal teams or third-party vendors
- Coordinate with engineering, operations, and IT teams to gather requirements and translate them into GIS workflows
- Document GIS processes, data standards, and system configurations for ongoing reference and knowledge transfer
- Assist with any ad hoc support needs as the platform transitions to steady state
WHAT YOU BRING
- 1–3 years of experience in project coordination, GIS analysis, or a related business/technical role
- Familiarity with GIS platforms (e.g., ArcGIS, ESRI) preferred
- Background in the utility industry is a plus
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to manage up, work independently, and collaborate across multiple teams
- Demonstrated organizational skills and attention to detail in a fast-paced enterprise environment with multiple stakeholders
- Ability to develop clear documentation and training materials for end users
- Bachelor's degree in GIS, Geography, Urban Planning, Information Systems, or a related field preferred
