• Publish and configure Utility Network services and applications in ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Pro, and Field Maps
• Develop and run QA/QC processes to validate migrated data
• Develop, document, and continually improve standardized migration workflows, scripts, and tools for use across projects
• Train and mentor team members on Utility Network concepts and data migration workflows
• Coordinate with project managers on technical scope, effort estimates, schedules, and hours for migration projects
• Lead technical working sessions with client GIS staff and provide post‑migration support as needed
• Stay current with changes in Esri technologies, especially new Utility Network releases and tools

• Experience working directly for a utility (water, wastewater, stormwater, telecom, electric, or gas)
• Experience leading multiple Utility Network migrations, including migrating a geometric network to the Utility Network
• Python/ArcPy scripting and/or FME experience
