  • Creation and Maintenance of Building Layers: Create and maintain GISbased building layers, especially for LADBS retrofit programs, ensuring all new permits and inspections within the LACPS have accurate geospatial references.
  • Workflow Automation for Geospatial Data: Use GIS tools to automate workflows for the LACPS, replacing manual processes from the legacy PCIS system, to improve data accuracy and reduce processing times.
  • GIS Map Services Integration: Configure, troubleshoot, and manage GIS map services to be used by the LACPS and future applications, ensuring consistent and reliable GIS functionality across platforms.
  • Python Scripting for GIS Automation: Develop Python scripts to automate data processing and editing tasks within GIS layers, facilitating data consistency and quality control.
  • Spatial and Tabular Data Queries: Perform spatial and tabular queries on GIS layers and the LACPS data to provide comprehensive data for reporting and analysis.
  • Data Quality Enhancement: Use Python, ArcGIS, and PL/SQL to create and update scripts focused on data quality, ensuring the LACPS maintains a high standard for geospatial data.
  • Building Footprint Feature Management: Oversee the building footprint feature class and associated GIS services, monitoring and optimizing them for the LACPS needs.
  • Geospatial Data Usage Metrics: Collect, interpret, and report on geospatial data usage metrics to support data-driven improvements and future GIS enhancements for the LACPS.
  • Third-Party Integration and Configuration: Collaborate with third-party consultants and partners to ensure GIS data aligns with business data, configure GIS and web server environments, and deliver multi-layer maps and related data accurately.
The performance of the Geospatial Data Structure Specialist for the LACPS will be closely monitored by LADBS management to ensure alignment with project goals and standards. Key performance expectations include:
