Unleash your talent and redefine what’s possible. Job Description Parsons is looking for an amazingly talented Environmental GIS and Data Specialist to join our Winnipeg Environmental team. In this role, you will combine Geographic Information Systems, environmental data management, workflow automation, and technical communication to support environmental site assessment, remediation, risk management, monitoring, sampling, and federal infrastructure projects. You will work closely with environmental scientists, engineers, geoscientists, project managers, field personnel, construction professionals, and other GIS and data specialists. You will organize and validate environmental information, develop and maintain project databases, prepare high-quality maps and figures, automate repetitive processes, and convert field and laboratory data into clear, defensible client deliverables. What You’ll Be Doing Develop, administer, and maintain project geodatabases and environmental databases in accordance with Parsons and client standards. Compile, import, organize, and standardize information from field programs, analytical laboratories, GPS and survey equipment, historical records, drawings, client systems, and government or open-source datasets. Perform quality assurance and quality control of spatial and tabular data, including checks for completeness, accuracy, coordinate systems, location identifiers, units, laboratory qualifiers, and consistency between data sources. Prepare professional maps, figures, and geospatial deliverables for environmental site assessments, investigations, remediation programs, monitoring projects, construction support, and site approval packages. Produce site-location plans, property and facility plans, borehole and monitoring-well figures, sampling-location plans, analytical-results maps, groundwater-elevation and contour figures, remediation-progress plans, and other project-specific graphics. Develop and maintain standardized templates, legends, symbology, naming conventions, metadata, and map-production procedures. Build and maintain digital field forms and mobile data-collection workflows using ArcGIS applications or comparable platforms. Use ArcGIS Pro, Python/ArcPy, SQL, and related tools to automate data validation, geoprocessing, map production, reporting, and other repetitive tasks. Run, troubleshoot, document, and improve existing scripts and automated workflows. Query environmental databases and prepare tables, charts, data summaries, dashboards, and exports for project teams and clients. Support pre-visit digital reconnaissance by compiling topographic, environmental, infrastructure, utility, and other site information before field assessments. Support evaluation of proposed and alternative project sites using GIS data, system requirements, site constraints, and available environmental and geotechnical information. Prepare maps and data products identifying site-specific environmental constraints, utility conditions, access limitations, cost drivers, schedule risks, and other construction feasibility considerations. Request, manage, organize, and maintain GIS data for potential project sites and ensure that collected information remains accessible to project and government teams. Support environmental screenings, permitting evaluations, NEPA-related documentation, environmental compliance activities, and construction environmental support. Assist with tracking environmental requirements, permit conditions, compliance milestones, regulatory reporting requirements, and project progress. Support site visits, GPS and mobile-data collection, sampling-location verification, and implementation of digital field workflows. Coordinate with project managers and technical staff to ensure GIS, data, reporting, and site assessment tasks are completed accurately, on schedule, and within project budgets. Support technical-report preparation, including figures, tables, appendices, data-management descriptions, methods and results summaries, site assessment reports, and project recommendations. Prepare detailed maps and supporting data for site assessment reports, including system-specific requirements and site constraints. Coordinate with federal, state, and local agencies, installation personnel, utility providers, contractors, and other stakeholders when required. Maintain clear documentation of databases, scripts, data sources, assumptions, and processing procedures so work can be reviewed, reproduced, and transferred between project teams. Support multiple concurrent projects and task orders, including assignments at geographically dispersed locations. Protect confidential, procurement-sensitive, and client information and follow applicable health, safety, quality, cybersecurity, data-security, and records-management requirements.
