GIS Analyst
Employer: Go intellects Inc
Location: Hillcrest Heights, MD (onsite)
Pay: $40 / hour
Type: Full-time — GIS / data production
What You’ll Do:
• Maintain and update foundational datasets (Vector Property Map, Master Address Repository) used across city services.
• Produce high-quality geospatial data products with complete metadata and perform QA/QC.
• Perform geometry editing (point/line/polygon/COGO), geocoding, map production and cartographic outputs.
• Run SQL and spatial queries against enterprise/file geodatabases and support data management tasks.
• Work with senior staff to manage datasets used for E911, permitting, planning, and other critical applications.
Why It Stands Out:
• Work on high-impact, government-scale geospatial data (address & property layers) used across municipal systems.
• Hands-on role with opportunities to shape authoritative datasets that support public safety and city services.
• Exposure to enterprise geodatabases, ArcGIS Pro/Desktop/Online, and complex spatial workflows.
Potential Trade-offs:
• Likely heavy focus on production and QA tasks — can be repetitive but detail-critical.
• Onsite expectations may be strict (enterprise/data access).
• May require quick turnarounds for time-sensitive datasets used by other agencies (E911, permitting).
Qualifications / Requirements:
• Bachelor’s in Geography, Computer Science, Planning, or equivalent experience.
• Strong experience with Esri tools (ArcGIS Desktop/Pro/Online).
• Proven QA/QC and metadata production skills.
• Experience with SQL spatial queries, geodatabases, geocoding, and cartography.
• Able to work independently and as part of a team.
• Python scripting, aerial imagery, and planimetric data experience are highly desired.
Perks / Benefits:
• Work on mission-critical city datasets with visible impact.
• Skill-building in enterprise GIS, data management, and spatial SQL.
• Collaboration with senior GIS staff and cross-department stakeholders.

Would you take this job?
If you were applying, what would be your top three non-negotiables: (A) confirmed hourly rate + clear overtime policy, (B) hybrid/remote flexibility or formal onsite schedule, or (C) a mentorship/training plan and clear career path into senior GIS roles? Which would you pick and why — and what would you ask the hiring manager before accepting (e.g., expected dataset volume, typical deadlines, or sample QA checklist)?
