What We're Looking For

Michael Baker International is seeking an experienced Geospatial Information Technology (GIT) Specialist II with deep expertise in FEMA flood hazard mapping and coastal floodplain mapping to support Risk MAP studies and resilience projects.

You'll join a collaborative, multidisciplinary team of floodplain engineers, geospatial professionals, planners, and project managers working across diverse regions. This role is ideal for someone who is driven, detail-oriented, and intellectually curious-someone who is passionate about delivering high-quality mapping solutions that make a meaningful impact in the communities we serve.

In this role, you will work with complex spatial datasets, including coastal and riverine modeling outputs, and deliver technically sound, FEMA-compliant geospatial products. This position supports the MER3 practice and includes work across FEMA Headquarters and Regions 1, 2, 3, and 5, with opportunities to expand into other federal, state, and local resilience programs.

This position may be office-based, hybrid, or remote depending on location.

What You'll Do

  • Support coastal and riverine floodplain mapping, integrating engineering model outputs into GIS workflows
  • Collaborate with engineers, modelers, and project managers to translate complex analyses into mapping deliverables
  • Develop, manage, and maintain spatial and non-spatial datasets aligned with FEMA standards and specifications
  • Compile and integrate geospatial data from multiple sources (LiDAR, aerial imagery, field data, existing studies)
  • Produce high-quality cartographic and digital mapping products that meet client and FEMA requirements
  • Perform QA/QC reviews of DFIRM databases, mapping deliverables, and supporting datasets
  • Develop and maintain FEMA-compliant metadata
  • Conduct spatial analysis and statistical evaluations to support mapping and technical decision-making
  • Prepare clear, concise technical documentation outlining geospatial processes and workflows
  • Support task management, scheduling, and coordination across multiple concurrent projects
  • Mentor junior staff on GIS workflows, FEMA standards, QA/QC processes, and task execution
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams and external partners to support hazard assessment and resilience planning

What You Need to Succeed

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in geography, GIS, computer science, engineering, planning, mathematics, government, or related field
  • 5+ years of experience with GIS concepts, software, and/or AutoCAD
  • Proficiency in Esri software suite (ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise), with emphasis on coastal mapping
  • Experience with FEMA's NFIP and Risk MAP Program, including guidance, specifications, and mapping standards
  • Experience supporting or leading DFIRM database development and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) components
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and data interpretation skills
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including technical documentation
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a team environment

Preferred Qualifications

  • Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM)
  • Experience with coastal processes and mapping workflows, including interpretation of coastal model outputs
  • Familiarity with coastal engineering datasets used in FEMA flood studies
  • Project management experience (task management, coordination, scheduling)
  • Experience mentoring or leading junior staff
  • Interest or experience in disaster recovery and resilience projects
  • Ability to travel up to ~20% as needed
  • Participation in industry organizations (ASFPM, PMI, etc.)

Compensation

The approximate compensation range for this position $$106,852 - $168,292 per year. This compensation range is a good faith estimate for the position at the time of posting. Actual compensation is dependent upon factors such as education, qualifications, experience, skillset, and physical work location.
