About the role

  • You report to the Head of AI Products & NOS and work across project development, environmental and licensing, NOS engineering, and the executive team.
  • TNC runs nuclear megaprojects across multiple U.S. and international sites, and every project produces geospatial data: environmental surveys, site characterization, construction monitoring, EPZ mapping, land records, and regulatory submissions.

Responsibilities

  • Own geospatial standards and governance.
  • Write and maintain the TNC Geospatial Data Management Plan and the GIS Deliverables Specification that governs every consultant and contractor scope of work.
  • Build and run the enterprise geodatabase.
  • Design the geodatabase structure (feature layer schemas, topology rules, domains, metadata) on the ESRI ArcGIS Online and Enterprise deployments, and the associated cloud infrastructure they are deployed on.
  • Build the EPZ mapping toolkit (10-mile plume exposure pathway, 50-mile ingestion pathway).
  • Build automated submission packaging (arcpy) that clips, reprojects, formats, attaches metadata, and generates manifests for NRC ADAMS upload.
  • Manage satellite, aerial, and drone imagery acquisition, GCP coordination, processing, and geodatabase ingest.
  • Geodatabase design, topology, metadata standards (FGDC CSDGM and ISO 19115), and data QA procedures.
  • Comfort building a program that does not exist yet.
  • Support NOS and run the program.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of GIS experience, including at least 3 years managing enterprise geodatabases for large infrastructure, energy, or environmental projects.
  • Working knowledge of geodesy: NAD83, NAVD88, State Plane, and datum transformations, with the judgment to tell whether a transformation is appropriate and explain why.
  • Required Experience

Nice to have

  • Ability to produce publication-quality maps for regulatory submissions, board presentations, and public meetings.
  • Familiarity with cloud object storage (AWS S3 or Azure equivalent) for large geospatial datasets (LiDAR, imagery, drone products, HD video).
  • Experience supporting environmental regulatory processes (NEPA, EIS, permitting) that produce and consume geospatial data.
  • GISP certification.
  • Preferred Experience

Compensation

  • Own the Esri license relationship, data classification and external release logging, data transmittal procedures, DR procedures and annual tests, the program budget, and hiring and supervision of GIS analysts as the team scales.
