The successful candidate will engage in various tasks including spatial data acquisition, geospatial modeling, database development, and data management, ensuring the integrity of data throughout the processes. This role is particularly significant as it supports multiple business units, with a primary emphasis on PacifiCorp's renewables sector, property-real estate initiatives, and wildfire mitigation and response efforts. In this position, the analyst will be responsible for designing, developing, and implementing moderately complex GIS processes. This includes sourcing data, performing data extraction, conducting geospatial analysis, and creating GIS application solutions. The analyst will also oversee the preparation of necessary exhibits for submission to stakeholders and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), assisting in planning, utility data modeling, site selection studies, and facility management. Collaboration with internal clients to solve business problems using GIS technology is a key aspect of this role.

Additionally, the role involves providing guidance and direction to GIS staff, producing high-end cartographic products for various initiatives, and developing standards and automated processes.
