NCDIT-Transportation (NCDIT-T) GIS Team is seeking a Technical Specialist Junior that will provide dedicated support the State Traffic Operations Center (STOC) and Transportation Mobility & Safety Unit by assisting with maintaining and updating GIS data used in routing, traffic operations, and incident response. This role works with TM&S staff to understand basic workflow needs, assist with gathering requirements, and help build simple to moderately complex maps, dashboards, and GIS tools that support daily operations. The primary focus is to communicate clearly with non-GIS users, ask questions to understand requests, and follow established GIS Unit standards when creating or updating data and applications. Daily work includes editing geometry, updating events and attributing data, performing QA/QC checks, and assisting with progress tracking and documentation. The role may also support Arcade coding and help with ETL processes under guidance from more senior team members.

This position will require an advanced knowledge of ArcGIS Online, the Esri Software Suite, and ArcGIS Enterprise. The candidate must be able to build web mapping applications independently, publish hosted and referenced feature services, and understand the life cycle of GIS products from requirements gathering to databases, schema creation, cartography, application development, and maintenance.

The ideal candidate will be able to travel to and from the STOC in Raleigh for in-person support during a major activation lasting >5 days.

Preference will be given to candidates that live within <1 hour commute to STOC.

The ideal candidate will be able to shadow meetings, listen to issues, and independently identify potential GIS solutions based on complex issues. The ability to quickly generate solutions and describe them to non-IT personnel is essential to this role. Documentation, organization, and communication skills are required. This position will report to the Specialist Expert position and must be able to take direction and work collaboratively extremely well, both in person, and remotely.
