  • Maintain consistent cartographic standards while tailoring maps and geospatial outputs to each project's technical, client, and presentation needs.
  • Help identify and resolve missing, conflicting, or incomplete information through careful review, communication, and quality-control practices.
  • Work across Land Survey + Data Solutions and other Fisher sectors while following established procedures, data standards, naming conventions, and QA/QC expectations.

  • Comfort working with Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel, plus a willingness to learn Fisher standards, workflows, and project delivery expectations.
  • Ability to communicate with supervisors, GIS staff, survey teams, engineers, planners, and project managers to clarify data needs and keep deliverables moving.
  • Interest in municipal, transportation, civil/site, environmental, utility, planning, survey, and community-shaping project work.
  • Professional behaviors aligned with Fisher values: Aspire to Excellence, Teamwork and Respect, Owning our Results, and Empowered Employees.

Why Join Fisher

  • Start or grow your GIS career in a collaborative Land Survey + Data Solutions group where your mapping accuracy, curiosity, and technical discipline matter.
  • Work on meaningful infrastructure, municipal, transportation, civil/site, environmental, planning, survey, and geospatial projects across Upstate New York and Fisher's broader footprint.
  • Learn from experienced GIS, survey, engineering, and project delivery professionals while building practical skills in ArcGIS, data standards, QA/QC, and client-ready deliverables.
  • Join a flexible, team-oriented culture built on mentorship, accessible leadership, continuous improvement, ownership, respect, and professional growth.
  • Contribute to clear, reliable geospatial information that helps clients, communities, and project teams make better decisions.

Physical Demands + Work Environment

  • Primarily office-based computer work with prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on GIS, mapping, and project data tasks.
  • Must be able to lift up to 20 pounds at a time and, when assigned, travel to project sites or field locations.
