Description du poste

SYSTRA Canada is part of the SYSTRA group, an international consulting and engineering group, a world leader in the design of transport infrastructures. SYSTRA Canada is an engineering and consulting firm whose primary focus is to offer transportation solutions, whether for passengers or goods: feasibility studies of building a new railway line, increasing the capacity of the existing infrastructure, privatization of a railway.

Context

Join SYSTRA Canada in shaping the future of Canada with this impressive ALTO high-speed rail project connecting Quebec City to Toronto, the largest infrastructure project in Canada in generations.

The ALTO high-speed rail project aims to improve the quality of life of our citizens, strengthen ties between communities, and stimulate economic growth.

Are you convinced that a more sustainable world is possible and that mobility is an integral part of thinking about the future of our planet? Come aboard with SYSTRA Canada and be part of the project that will revolutionize the railway industry in Canada!

Missions/Main Duties

• Design and implement GIS solutions using ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise, transforming complex data into dynamic web-based visualizations that meet the needs of transportation and infrastructure projects.
• Develop advanced web applications using Experience Builder, StoryMaps, Dashboards, and other ArcGIS tools to support stakeholder engagement and decision-making.
• Integrate spatial and tabular data (e.g., CAD, GPS, text) through robust ETL processes using tools such as FME (Feature Manipulation Engine) and ArcGIS, convert data between formats (e.g., CAD to Shapefile), and maintain data accuracy while optimizing the performance of enterprise geodatabases in multi-user environments.
• Extract, clean, validate, and structure geospatial data from various internal and external sources to support transportation infrastructure projects.
• Automate GIS workflows and data processing tasks using Python (ArcPy), FME, and Power Automate to streamline repetitive processes, improve efficiency, and reduce project delivery timelines.
• Process and analyze LiDAR datasets, generate Digital Terrain Models (DTM), and utilize orthophotos to fulfill mapping, spatial analysis, and visualization requirements.
• Create thematic, analytical, and 3D maps by applying graphical representation standards and integrating dynamic layers for advanced spatial analyses tailored to stakeholder and project needs.
• Integrate BIM (Building Information Modeling) data workflows, ensuring interoperability between GIS and BIM systems for enhanced 3D visualization and infrastructure coordination.
• Promote knowledge sharing by mentoring colleagues, delivering GIS training sessions, and actively pursuing continuous professional development to strengthen team capabilities.
• Communicate complex geospatial analyses to non-technical stakeholders, providing clear insights and actionable recommendations to support strategic decision-making in transportation projects.

Profile/Skills

Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), geography, urban planning, or a related field.

Years of Experience: 10+ years of professional GIS experience, with demonstrated expertise in transportation infrastructure projects.

Technical Skills

• Advanced proficiency in ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise/Online, Experience Builder, StoryMaps, Survey123, Field Maps, QuickCapture, and ArcGIS Dashboards.
• Extensive expertise in ArcGIS Pro and QGIS for processing, analyzing, and visualizing complex geospatial datasets.
• Strong expertise in FME (Feature Manipulation Engine) for advanced ETL processes, data transformation, automation, interoperability, and workflow optimization.
• Proficient in coordinate systems, spatial data management, and the design, implementation, and optimization of geodatabases in multi-user enterprise environments.
• Deep expertise in converting data between multiple formats (text, tabular, CAD, GIS, BIM), ensuring data integrity, quality control, and system compatibility.
• Strong programming skills in Python (including ArcPy) and JavaScript, with experience in PostgreSQL/PostGIS and GPS data integration for transportation applications.
• Experience integrating BIM data via Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), connecting GIS to BIM systems, converting data into 3D scenes, and publishing to ArcGIS Enterprise for advanced visualization and analysis.
• In-depth knowledge of Power BI, Power Automate, and Power Apps for workflow automation, reporting, and data visualization.
• Advanced spatial analysis and problem-solving skills, with the ability to develop innovative GIS solutions for complex infrastructure projects.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in both French and English. *
• Reason for the bilingualism requirement: You will have the opportunity to work with a diverse clientele, including both Francophone and Anglophone companies. Bilingualism is therefore essential for building strong relationships with our clients, understanding their specific needs, and communicating effectively in their preferred language.
