Job description

You’ll join a collaborative, mission‑driven organization focused on scaling renewable energy across North America. GIS is deeply embedded in our decision‑making—and your work will directly influence project viability, land strategy, and long‑term clean energy deployment.

At TotalEnergies, your maps become projects—and your analyses become assets.

Map the Future of Clean Energy

At TotalEnergies Renewables USA, GIS does far more than make maps—it helps determine where the next generation of solar and storage projects will be built.

We’re looking for a GIS Analyst to support our Solar and Storage Development teams by delivering high‑quality geospatial analysis, automation, and data insights that directly shape project site selection, design, and development strategy across the U.S.

If you enjoy solving real‑world problems with spatial data—and want your work to directly support the energy transition—this role offers both meaning and momentum.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with the Development team to support real estate acquisition, site selection, environmental avoidance, and project design through geospatial analysis.
• Evaluate prospective project locations using spatial constraints, land ownership data, surveys, and publicly available datasets.
• Create clear, accurate maps and cartographic deliverables, including interactive web maps.
• Compile project constraints from ALTA surveys, land agreements, internal reports, and public sources.
• Plot metes and bounds to verify land ownership and project boundaries.
• Perform advanced geospatial analysis using ArcGIS Pro, geoprocessing tools, raster datasets, and LiDAR.
• Use ArcGIS ModelBuilder and Python scripting to automate workflows and streamline repetitive tasks.
• Support data lifecycle management by maintaining and versioning geospatial databases in compliance with data governance standards.
• Use Enverus software to support site selection campaigns and project layout development.
• Identify and execute workflow efficiency projects that improve how GIS supports the broader business.
• Manage a full workload with shifting priorities in a fast‑paced development environment.

What You Bring

• 2–5 years of professional GIS experience.
• Strong proficiency with ESRI ArcGIS Pro, geoprocessing tools, and spatial analysis techniques.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining attention to detail.
• Must be in Austin, TX.
• GIS Certificate.
• Experience with ArcGIS Online, ModelBuilder, and automation workflows.
