EnSafe is seeking a GIS Director within our Environmental Information System (EIS) Services to support a period of significant growth and increasing technical complexity.

The GIS Director will provide strategic and operational leadership for GIS across the firm, ensuring the platform is scalable, secure, reliable, and well‑governed, and deeply integrated with project delivery, field data collection, environmental databases, analytics, and modeling workflows.

Establish data governance standards, including QA/QC, data integrity, security, and regulatory compliance across GIS services. Establish and manage a scalable GIS delivery model, including capacity planning, utilization targets, prioritization, and internal capability development, reducing reliance on external managed services where appropriate. Serve as a GIS subject matter expert supporting internal project teams and external pursuits, helping define scopes, solution strategies, project management, and client-facing engagement and positioning. Minimum skills and requirements: Bachelor’s degree in a related field (e.g., Geography, Environmental Science, GIS, Computer Science, Information Technology) required; Master’s degree preferred. 10+ years of progressive GIS experience, ideally in a consulting, engineering, or technical services environment, including leadership responsibilities. Strong ESRI experience, including ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise, and familiarity with mobile/field workflows and ArcGIS Portal web viewers (e.g., Field Maps, Experience Builder, Dashboards, etc.). Experience leading or supporting GIS services within a mid‑to‑large environmental consulting or engineering firm, including exposure to enterprise platforms, standardized delivery models, and multi‑office operations Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex GIS and integrated data concepts to non‑technical audiences.
