Subject: GIS position - Forestry Sector

 

Hello Dave;  

 

I am wondering if you know of any experienced GIS users/professionals
who may be looking for work or might possibly be interested in
transitioning into the forestry sector.  We are looking for a GIS
analyst who would be responsible for maintaining a variety of spatial
data with the ability to improve and consistently update the database(s)
as changes occur on the ground.  This person should be experienced in
Microsoft access or similar DB program as well and willing to take on
some biometric duties in the form of inventory design, or at a minimum,
inventory data interpretation/manipulation.  Other responsibilities
would include routine reporting to landowners and government as well as
the creation and maintenance of GIS mapping interfaces for multiple
purposes to be used by field personnel.  The person must be a
self-starter, highly organized, detail oriented, and willing to work in
a fast paced environment.  Other duties may include the maintenance and
updating of GIS equipment, field PC's and field GPS units as well as the
associated software necessary for using the equipment.  This person
could expect to have long term projects (6mo-1yr timeframe), short term
(weekly to monthly) projects and daily on-demand tasks going on
concurrently.  

 

We have experienced some growth and the modern demands associated with
managing investment properties are ever increasing, not to mention the
strain of performing according to SFI/FSC standards in an ever changing
environment.  This is a full time job with an excellent benefits
package.

 

If you don't know of anyone personally, would you potentially be able to
put me in contact with the Maine GIS Users Group mailing list?  Also,
are you familiar with a state licensing program for GIS professionals,
do you know how I might tap into this audience?

 

Thanks for your time
