As a part-time GIS analyst, your job is to use mapping data and software to create useful reports for any company that requires spatial data management. For example, local governments use GIS data to help manage infrastructure, ensure accurate land records, and promote economic development. This job may involve surveying locations in the field, looking for patterns and trends in data, creating maps displaying specific types of information, and managing a digital library of different types of maps. Part-time analysts usually work in areas that need some support analyzing GIS data, but do not have enough work to require your full-time attention. This job may use programming skills as well as analytical skills.
