Schedule: Full-Time
Salary: $80,000 – $120,000 (based on experience)

At EVS, we’re redefining how technology powers engineering. We’re looking for a GIS Automation Engineer to design, develop, and implement geospatial automation tools that enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and innovation of our engineering workflows.

You’ll play a key role in shaping how GIS integrates into renewable energy, civil, and infrastructure design — building tools that bridge data, design, and automation.

What You’ll Do

• Develop workflow automations using QGIS, Python, and related tools to streamline manual tasks.

• Create, document, and maintain translation workflows between QGIS and AutoCAD/Civil3D.

• Design and standardize templates, tools, and spatial data libraries for consistent use across teams.

• Apply testing and version control best practices to ensure scalability and reliability.

• Develop and maintain spatial databases (PostgreSQL, SpatiaLite, etc.) to support GIS-enabled workflows.

• Collaborate with SMEs to identify new opportunities for process automation and improvement.

• Train and mentor engineers on GIS tools, workflows, and data management best practices.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, GIS, or a related field.

• 3–7 years of experience developing GIS-based automations using QGIS and Python.

• Strong understanding of geospatial libraries (GeoPandas, Rasterio, Shapely) and SQL.

• Experience with version control (Git) and software development best practices.

• Familiarity with AutoCAD/Civil3D and survey data (LiDAR, GPS).

• Strong communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.

• Experience creating or managing spatial databases preferred.

Why EVS

You’ll join a forward-thinking innovation team that’s transforming how engineering teams leverage geospatial data. Here, your work will directly impact how renewable energy and infrastructure projects are designed and delivered.
