Job description

Job Description:
Permian Resources (NYSE: PR) is seeking a GIS Platform Analyst reporting to the Data Manager in Midland, Texas. This role is responsible for the technical backbone of our GIS platform - administering enterprise systems, building and maintaining spatial data pipelines, and ensuring the reliability and integrity of GIS data across the organization.
The ideal candidate brings deep hands-on experience with Esri's ArcGIS Enterprise platform and spatial data automation tools, a strong understanding of data integration and pipeline development, and the ability to operate both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced oil and gas environment. We are open to mid-level candidates who demonstrate strong fundamentals and clear potential, as well as senior candidates ready to hit the ground running.
General Responsibilities
  • Administer and maintain ArcGIS Enterprise (Portal, Server, and geodatabase), ensuring platform stability, security, and availability across all business users and teams
  • Build, maintain, and optimize FME workspaces and automated workflows that move and transform spatial data between GIS and enterprise systems, keeping data current and reducing manual intervention
  • Ensure GIS data stays aligned and synchronized with other company data platforms, including Databricks and land and production systems
  • Own the enterprise geodatabase architecture including data modeling, versioning, replication, and storage -- serving as the single source of truth for spatial data across Land, Production Ops, Facilities, Environmental, and Midstream.
  • Develop and maintain tools and automated workflows that enforce data quality standards and reduce reliance on manual processes
  • Establish and enforce GIS data standards, naming conventions, and schema governance across all business domains to ensure long-term data consistency and reliability
  • Monitor GIS environments to ensure system health, proactively identify issues, and support the mapping team by resolving technical blockers that affect their day-to-day work
  • Manage and direct contract GIS backend support, ensuring outside resources work within established standards and reducing long-term vendor dependency
  • Partner with data engineers, IT, and business subject matter experts across all departments to deliver reliable spatial data that supports operational decisions
  • Create and maintain clear technical documentation; adhere to coding and data governance practices that support long-term maintainability and scalability

Minimum Qualifications
  • Proven experience as a GIS Analyst supporting Land and BD A&D operations
  • BA/BS in Geography, Computer Science, or related field.
  • 4+ years of progressive GIS employment history
  • Proven competency with ESRI's software suite, specifically ArcMap, ArcPro, ESRI's Enterprise Portal and ArcSDE database
  • Knowledge of Quorum, LandWorks, P2 or related lease management software
  • Strong cartographic experience providing internal and external maps and graphics
  • Experience reading, interpreting and digitizing legal land descriptions using ESRI's COGO tool or other software platforms

Preferred Qualifications
  • Self-motivated and capable of independently integrating within multi-disciplinary teams
  • Must have strong verbal and written communication skills and be able to communicate effectively with all levels of the organization

Permian Resource is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
