• Collaborate with multidisciplinary project teams to design and implement geospatial strategies that align with client goals—accurately scoping effort and delivering high-quality results from concept to completion
• Serve as the lead GIS professional on small to mid-sized projects, managing scope, schedule, budget, and with potential to coordinate supporting GIS resources
• Be an active participant and technical contributor on large, multi-year projects
• Approach every task as an opportunity to innovate—rethinking how spatial data is collected, managed, visualized, and shared
• Create clear, compelling cartographic products—both static and interactive (web)—with a strong sense of visual design and storytelling
• Develop and manage dynamic GIS solutions using Esri products and applications such as Dashboards, Experience Builder, Hub Sites, StoryMaps, Field Maps, and Survey123. 
• Balance creative problem-solving with adherence to Stantec’s GIS standards and best practices
• Provide mentorship and guidance to GIS team members across experience levels, fostering growth and collaboration regardless of staff seniority
