RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client that is seeking a GIS Automation Engineer/Developer in Palm Beach Gardens, FL.
Key Tasks:
* Develop and implement automated batch processing workflows for Terrasolid software suite (TerraScan, TerraModeler, TerraPhoto)
* Create scripts and macros to streamline transmission feature coding workflows for as-built documentation
* Automate classification routines for transmission infrastructure including towers, conductors, poles, and wires
* Optimize processing parameters for accuracy and efficiency across large statewide LiDAR datasets
* Support extraction of transmission asset data from aerial and terrestrial LiDAR collections
* Collaborate with transmission engineering teams to validate feature coding requirements and accuracy
* Develop quality assurance protocols for automated feature extraction workflows
* Document automation workflows and provide training to NextCollect data science team members
* Troubleshoot processing issues and refine automation scripts based on operational feedback
ArcPy Scripting & GIS Automation (Secondary - 20%):
* Develop custom geoprocessing tools and Python automation scripts using ArcGIS Pro and ArcPy to streamline spatial analysis workflows
* Create tools for data validation, transformation, and quality control supporting transmission projects
* Support mapbook automation and report generation initiatives for NEER operations
* Integrate ArcGIS workflows with Terrasolid outputs for enterprise data delivery and visualization
* Build sophisticated map layers, cartographic visualizations, and spatial data rendering solutions
* Develop advanced spatial queries using PostGIS and PostgreSQL for enterprise geospatial databases
AWS Cloud Infrastructure Support (Secondary - 10%):
* Optimize cloud-based LiDAR data transfer and storage workflows supporting statewide collections
* Support automation of LiDAR data downloads and uploads to/from AWS S3 for NextCollect operations
REQUIREMENTS:
Core Technical Skills:

* Familiarity with LiDAR data formats (LAS, LAZ) and point cloud processing
GIS & Spatial Analysis:
* ArcGIS Pro, ArcPy, Python
* PostGIS and PostgreSQL for enterprise geospatial databases
* Strong understanding of spatial data formats, coordinate systems, and projections
* Create and manage SDE connections and geodatabase architectures within ArcGIS Pro
Cloud & DevOps:
* AWS services (S3, EC2, RDS, Lambda, CloudWatch, CloudFormation, Secrets Manager)
* AWS CDK with TypeScript for infrastructure as code
* GitHub Actions for CI/CD pipelines
* DBeaver for database management
* Jupyter Notebooks for geospatial analysis and documentation
Preferred Qualifications:
* 3+ years in GIS automation or geospatial software development
* Demonstrated experience with LiDAR processing workflows and point cloud analysis
* Experience with enterprise GIS architecture and geodatabase design
* Background in utility or infrastructure projects (transmission/distribution systems preferred)
* Understanding of transmission infrastructure and as-built documentation requirements
* Experience with AI/ML models in ArcGIS Pro for predictive geospatial analytics
* Familiarity with Riegl airborne and terrestrial LiDAR scanning systems
The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.
We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.
