What this role is
Senior individual contributor providing expert surveying and spatial-data guidance for oil and gas land and project activities. At the Principal Support Specialist (S5) level, the role owns function-wide support practice, program-level and systemic support problems, and drives support strategy across the function. Subject-matter authority; shapes the practice.
What this level does
- Establish new geospatial data-handling and QA procedures for the group and standardize automation frameworks (Python/FME) so mapping products are produced consistently across projects
- Resolve the most complex spatial data problems — reconciling incompatible datums, integrating remote-sensing and field survey data, and validating results in specialized areas such as geodetic control or hydrographic data
- Serve as working lead and technical authority for field and office technical staff on data workflows, facilitating peer execution and providing guidance on difficult analyses
- Coordinate technical delivery across complex mapping projects, interfacing with engineers, project managers and clients on data specifications and supplementary resources
- Develop and disseminate new geoprocessing techniques and train technicians in their application, contributing to the group's methods and standards
- Knowledge applied
- Highly skilled specialist; contributes to the creation of new geoprocessing procedures, standards and automation frameworks within geomatics.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Develops concepts and techniques; resolves the most complex spatial data and integration issues.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Acts independently as working lead and technical authority; facilitates peer execution and trains technicians.
- Typical experience
- 6+ years; expert in geomatics data specialty.
Skills at this level
- Spatial data collection and verification
- — Gathers and verifies spatial data from sources such as GNSS, satellite imagery and geological surveys, checking field values to ensure database integrity and accuracy.
- Geospatial database management
- — Builds and maintains geodatabases with multiple inputs, reconciling GPS and remote-sensing sources and resolving attribute, projection and topology conflicts.
- Geoprocessing and spatial analysis
- — Runs analytical techniques such as buffer-overlay analysis in ArcGIS or QGIS to identify patterns for urban planning, environmental impact and transportation datasets.
- Cartographic production and QA
- — Produces maps, dashboards and report deliverables to style standards, and performs quality assurance by comparing outputs against source data to catch accuracy and metadata errors.
- Geospatial scripting and automation
- — Writes Python or FME scripts to automate repetitive geoprocessing and data-cleaning steps within the team's mapping pipelines.
- Remote-sensing data handling
- — Processes satellite imagery and aerial photography (e.g. in ERDAS Imagine) as supplementary sources for mapping and analysis tasks.
- Project coordination and tracking
- — Coordinates the sequencing and delivery of mapping tasks and QA across a project, tracking progress against deadlines and priorities.
- Technical communication
- — Explains data assessments, analytical results and recommendations in written reports and presentations to engineers, project managers and other GIS staff.
- Procedure development and training
- — Establishes new data-handling and geoprocessing standards for the group and trains less experienced technicians in their application.
