Will GIS be overtaken by AI?

GIS (Geographic Information Systems) professionals, including remote geospatial engineers, use AI to automate data analysis, improve accuracy, and handle large datasets more efficiently. While AI enhances GIS capabilities, it is a tool that complements human expertise rather than replacing it, and skills in both areas remain valuable in the field.

Can GIS jobs be remote?

Yes, many GIS jobs, including those for geospatial engineers, can be performed remotely. These roles often require skills in GIS software, data analysis, and remote collaboration tools, making remote work feasible for qualified candidates.

What engineers make $500,000?

Senior engineers in specialized fields such as software engineering, petroleum engineering, and certain aerospace roles can earn $500,000 or more annually, often through a combination of base salary, bonuses, and stock options.

Job description

Who We Are
Independent for over 75 years, Milliman delivers market-leading services and solutions to clients worldwide. Today, we are helping companies take on some of the world's most critical and complex issues, including retirement funding and healthcare financing, risk management and regulatory compliance, data analytics and business transformation.
Milliman invests in skills training and career development, and gives all employees access to a variety of learning and mentoring opportunities. Our growing number of Milliman Employee Resource Groups (ERG's) are employee-led communities that influence policy decisions, develop future leaders, and amplify the voices of their constituents. Please visit our web site to learn more about Milliman's commitments to our people, diversity and inclusion, social impact and sustainability.
The San Francisco Tri-State Property and Casualty practice, comprised of about 50 employees, represents a wide range of expertise, with abundant opportunities to develop and apply actuarial and complementary skills such as data science and geospatial analysis. We work on some of today's most important insurance problems, including climate resilience and telematics. We consult with insurance carriers, reinsurers, and self-insureds on loss reserving and pricing. We also build predictive models and innovative insurance products for traditional and start-up insurers, as well as the associated state regulatory rate filing support.
What You Will Do
We are ready to add a highly experienced GIS and Climate Analytics Manager to our team, who will lead and expand our geospatial and climate consulting practice within the insurance industry. In this role, you'll leverage your scientific knowledge, programming expertise, and your insurance industry experience to lead teams of geospatial professionals, data scientists, and actuarial analysts on a variety of projects related to geospatial data, climate risk, and insurance.
This new role is a pivot point between overseeing technical, business development, and management aspects of our geospatial and climate analytics work and external-facing responsibilities, with a focus on supporting existing federal contracts and high-impact insurance consulting projects. You will report to the lead Principal & GIS Consultant and directly supervise a small team. Our ideal candidate will have deep subject matter expertise in insurance, hands-on experience with catastrophe and climate modeling, and a proven track record of leading geospatial projects.
Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and contribute to research and development (R&D) initiatives; write and publish thought leadership articles; present as a subject matter expert at industry conferences.
  • Lead and contribute to proposal development, client pitches, and contract negotiations for new and existing clients.

Project and Product Oversight
  • Serve as project and/or team lead for client engagements involving geospatial, climate, and catastrophe risk analysis-especially for large federal contracts (requiring U.S. citizenship and public trust clearance).
  • Assist Principal & GIS Consultant with the Milliman PinPoint API product, including advising on product operations and development as they relate to GIS data assets and processing.

Technical Excellence
  • Provide expert review and hands-on guidance for advanced spatial analysis, climate and catastrophe modeling, and integration of science into actuarial and financial analysis.
  • Oversee the acquisition, processing, and visualization of geospatial, climate, and other scientific data.
  • Ensure rigorous adherence to risk management and quality control standards.

What We Are Looking For
Professional Qualifications
  • 10+ years of professional experience in GIS, climate, or catastrophe analytics, with a minimum of 5 years in the insurance industry (P&C or related lines).
  • Demonstrated subject matter expertise in insurance risk, catastrophe modeling, and climate analytics.
  • Prepared to lead a team or previous managerial experience, including direct supervision of technical staff and peer review of work product.
  • Hands-on experience with open-source geospatial and ESRI technology including Python scripting and spatial database management.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills including experience with client management and business development.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate effectively across diverse environments, translating complex technical work into actionable concepts for clients.
  • Individual(s) must be United States Citizen(s)
  • Individual(s) must have a primary residence in the United States
  • Individual(s) must be able and willing to obtain and maintain a United States Government-issued Public Trust security clearance

Personal Attributes

  • Strategic thinker with a collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset
  • Strong critical thinking, technical, and analytical skills
  • Ability to manage multiple projects of varying complexity and duration
  • Strong attention to detail, technical rigor, and proactive problem-solving
