Your Mission
As we continue to expand our horizons, Stronghold is on the lookout for a skilled GIS Analyst to join our team. This role calls for someone who can seamlessly provide top-tier geospatial analysis and mapping solutions to a multi-faceted team in a dynamic setting. The ideal candidate will not only be proficient with the ArcGIS suite but should also be ready to thrive and deliver outstanding results in an entrepreneurial environment.
As Stronghold continues to scale its geospatial operations, we are seeking a detail-oriented Cartographer (Digitizer / Spatial Data Creator) to join our GIS team. This role focuses on the digitization, creation, and maintenance of high-quality vector datasets and cartographic products that support Land, Engineering, and Geological teams across multiple U.S. basins. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in digital cartography, hands-on proficiency with the ArcGIS Suite and/or QGIS, and the ability to produce accurate, publication-ready maps on demand in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
Key Responsibilities - What You'll Own
- Digitization and Vector Data Creation: Digitize spatial features from land records, plat maps, survey documents, aerial imagery, and other source materials into accurate vector datasets using QGIS and/or the ArcGIS Suite.
- Map Production on Demand: Create, design, and deliver high-quality cartographic products—including tract maps, unit maps, deed plots, and well location maps—according to established standards and within required turnaround times.
- Cartographic Design and Standards: Apply principles of digital cartography to ensure all map outputs are clear, visually consistent, and adhere to the firm's symbology, labeling, and layout standards.
- Georeferencing: Accurately georeference scanned land records, plat images, and other raster source materials, aligning them to the appropriate coordinate reference system for downstream digitization.
- Data Accuracy and Quality Control: Perform self-review and peer-review checks on digitized features to ensure geometric accuracy, topological consistency, and attribute completeness before submission.
- Collaboration and Communication: Work closely with GIS Analysts, Senior GIS Analysts, and cross-functional teams (Land, Engineering, Geology) to understand mapping requirements and deliver outputs that meet operational needs.
- Documentation: Maintain thorough records of digitization workflows, data sources, and any modifications made to spatial datasets for audit and reproducibility purposes.
Qualifications - What You Bring
- A bachelor's degree in Geography, GIS, Cartography, Geomatics, Surveying, or a related discipline.
- 1–3 years of hands-on experience in GIS digitization, spatial data creation, or cartographic production.
- Demonstrated proficiency with the ArcGIS Suite (ArcGIS Pro / ArcMap) and/or QGIS for digitizing, editing, and managing vector datasets.
- Solid understanding of the fundamentals of digital cartography, including map design, symbology, labeling, scale, projections, and coordinate reference systems.
- Strong attention to detail with a commitment to spatial data accuracy and quality.
- Ability to produce maps on demand under tight deadlines while maintaining high standards of quality.
- Familiarity with vector data formats (Shapefile, GeoJSON, File Geodatabase) and basic geodatabase concepts.
