   City Manager’s Office

Description

The City of Oak Hill is hiring for a vacancy for its GIS Coordinator position. The GIS Coordinator will be tasked with the daily operation of the city’s cloud enterprise GIS program and mapping duties for all municipal departments and city officials. The position will work directly under the City Manager, but coordinate efforts with staff from every municipal department.

The ideal candidate for this position should have a strong understanding of geography, cartography, and geographic information systems, along with working experience in state, county, or local government. The ideal candidate will be expected to complete projects in the office and field, leverage data from city, county, and state sources, and develop products for staff, officials, and the general public to consume. The ideal candidate will also identify and leverage new software or methods to address challenges faced by the city. The ideal candidate must have good self-management skills and be detail-oriented, responsible, and organized.  Good communication skills are a must, as this position requires working closely with the city administration, field staff, and other non-GIS professionals to develop useful applications that enhance existing workflows or create new ones.
