Remote Geospatial Developer Jobs in Colorado (NOW HIRING)

JOB DESCRIPTION
1. Explain what the scope of the work/project is? Project Overview, deliverables (what is this person responsible for).
This role will support small gas regulation station and regulator station projects (not large assets such as compressor stations). Responsibilities include conducting site visits, producing designs from IFR through As-Built, and generating full drawing packages for each phase. The contractor will create 3D models using CADWorx and translate them into fabrication and as-built drawings, while coordinating closely with engineers and project managers to ensure correct classifications and bills of materials
2. What does a typical day look like?
The designer will own projects end-to-end. Work includes drafting and design, collaboration with engineers and operators, revising drawings, managing documentation, and occasionally traveling to project sites. After onboarding, the individual is expected to work independently on assigned projects, seeking clarification as needed but without micromanagement.
6. Describe work environment / team culture (supportive/collaborative, teamwork or individual contributor)?
The environment is highly collaborative and relationship-driven. Designers work directly with engineers and operators, are expected to ask questions, and actively collaborate rather than simply following redlines. The team values independence, trust, and open communication.
7. Can you elaborate on any potential risks or safety considerations associated with this role, particularly if the responsibilities extend beyond a standard desk or office environment?
This role includes site visits to gas facilities, requiring safety awareness. PPE is required (boots may be supplier-provided depending on contract terms). Travel to sites such as Grand Junction or Alamosa may occur, typically as full-day trips
