 Job Overview:

Summary:  Under general supervision, is responsible for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) work of average difficulty in the analysis and evaluation of equipment and software applications for GIS development; and performs related work as required.
 

Distinguishing Features:  *This is the working level class in the Geographic Information Systems Analyst sub-series.  An employee in this class performs advanced spatial analysis; custom designs software applications, and analyzes and evaluates equipment and software applications necessary for GIS development programs.  This class differs from Geographic Information Systems Analyst 1 in that incumbents of the latter perform at the entry level.  This class differs from Geographic Information Systems Analyst 3 in that incumbents of the latter either perform at the advanced working level in the central information systems division for the State or supervise subordinate GIS analytic staff.


 Work Activities:

1. Develops customized Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications; creates GIS applications which provide decision-making tools for complex issues such as demographics, transportation, and the potential impact of construction, conservation initiatives, and other regional activities; identifies project objectives, required resources, and technical approaches necessary to satisfy the needs of the client by performing background research and applying industry standards; writes source code using state-approved programming languages; checks source code through test simulations to ensure application meets goals outlined in project plan; makes corrections to source code based on feedback from other analysts and staff; implements application by transferring it to a production environment using various media, storage, or network devices.

2. Creates specialized data sets, reports, maps, graphics, and other requested materials by analyzing data using GIS; researches pre-existing data sets and data resources to gain familiarity with issues surrounding request; selects the appropriate data collection, integration, and storage methods based on project objectives and current research; acquires data by submitting requests to appropriate agencies and physically collecting data from raw sources such as libraries, networks, or related media; defines output parameters by loading data, graphics, and geography into database or system; performs spatial analysis using appropriate GIS application tools and commands.

3. Integrates GIS into existing agency or departmental applications to improve quality and cost effectiveness of state services; examines existing business processes to determine what data sets are involved, how the data is obtained and stored, and current business needs; identifies requirements necessary for GIS integration through consultations with clients, vendors, and other application developers based on request and agency needs; writes source code using state-approved programming languages to create a digital map-interface allowing access to business data in a spatial environment; determines if system problems are related to hardware compatibility issues, software errors, or user operation based on the performance of GIS components.

4. Maintains GIS applications, hardware, and software to ensure performance needs are met; defines the cost effectiveness, compatibility of software components, and application performance to determine impact of system modifications on the agency; evaluates industry standards and technological advances to determine if system improvements are beneficial to the agency; monitors performance of hardware components such as plotters, scanners, and digitizers; may install GIS software and hardware upgrades for users.



5. Provides training and technical assistance to users of geographic information systems (GIS) throughout state agencies; trains users regarding the functionality of GIS software and custom-designed applications through individual or class instruction; writes instructional content and incorporates sample data sets and maps, output methods, and related equipment for classes on the functionality of GIS; provides technical support to users regarding use of GIS tools through e-mail, telephone, or personal interaction.
