True Environmental is seeking a hands-on technical leader to drive geospatial, digital, and AI innovation into everything we do. Working directly with engineers, scientists, GIS staff, and project managers in every service line, you will learn how each team delivers its work and build the tools, platforms, and workflows that make that work faster, more accurate, and more valuable to clients. You will be the firm’s U.S.-based technical authority for enterprise GIS, geomatics, and digital solutions across all practices, and the person who turns emerging technology into everyday practice. You will design the geodatabases, write the scripts, build the applications, integrate the data feeds, and apply AI in a manner that improves how we compile data, detect change, and deliver results. Just as importantly, you will train project teams to use what you create, so innovation reaches every project. You will also collaborate closely with your geomatics and digital solutions counterparts in Canada to share tools, align standards, and build capabilities that serve the whole organization. The position reports to the Chief Operating Officer and works in a matrixed relationship with practice leads across the firm.
What You Will Do
Cross-Practice Technical Leadership
- Act as the U.S. technical lead for geospatial and digital solutions, supporting all six practice groups: Natural Resources and Regulatory Services, Mining, Environmental, Engineering, Water Resources, and Federal.
- Partner with each practice to map current workflows, identify where spatial data and automation can remove manual effort or improve decision quality, and prioritize a development backlog.
- Establish firm-wide standards for geodatabase design, metadata, data governance, QA/QC, and deliverable formats so geospatial output is consistent regardless of practice or office.
- Coordinate with digital technology leaders in Canada to identify, develop, and leverage tools across True, aligning platforms and avoiding duplicated development.
- Serve as technical reviewer for geospatial deliverables and provide expert input on proposals when practices need a defined digital scope.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Geography, Geospatial Science, Environmental Science/Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- Authorized to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship.
- 20+ years of progressive geospatial and application-development experience, with substantial time as technical lead on multidisciplinary projects in an environmental, engineering, AEC, or public-sector setting.
- GISP certification (or ability to obtain within 12 months).
- Deep expertise in the Esri platform: ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise/Server, ArcGIS Online, Experience Builder, Survey123, Field Maps, 3D/Spatial Analyst.
- Proven development skills: Python, SQL (PostgreSQL/PostGIS, SQL Server), JavaScript (Esri JS API, Leaflet, Node.js), and relational database design.
- Demonstrated track record of building web applications, dashboards, and enterprise GIS infrastructure that measurably improved delivery efficiency or client decision-making.
- Experience integrating field data collection platforms with enterprise geodatabases and downstream modeling or reporting tools.
- Ability to work across disciplines: elicit requirements from non-GIS staff, explain technical trade-offs clearly, and deliver tools people actually adopt.
- Comfortable presenting to clients, agencies, and industry audiences.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience developing digital-twin or asset-management platforms integrating point clouds, BIM, and inspection data (ports, utilities, transportation, or facilities).
- Hands-on reality-capture experience: LiDAR, bathymetric/sonar survey, UAS operations (FAA Part 107), photogrammetry, 3D modeling.
- Open-source geospatial and cloud experience (QGIS, MapServer, GeoServer, PostGIS; Azure or AWS).
- Experience applying AI/ML or LLM-assisted tooling to geospatial data compilation, defect detection, or metadata generation.
- Integration experience with EAM/BIM platforms (e.g., Maximo, Autodesk Forma) and CAD/MicroStation conversion via FME.
- Experience with 3D visualization, immersive/XR, or interactive training content for stakeholder engagement.
- Experience working across distributed, multi-office, or cross-border teams.
