GIS Mapping

Job Summary GIS Analyst - Immediate joiner only

We are hiring GIS Executives to work on editing, correcting, and validating FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps

(FIRM/DFIRM). The role involves cleaning GIS layers, resolving topology issues, updating attributes, applying

FEMA-compliant symbology, and preparing final map deliverables using ArcGIS and MapInfo Pro.

This position does not primarily require hydrology/hydraulic modeling. However, basic knowledge in those

areas will be considered an added advantage.

Key Responsibilities

1. FEMA Map Editing

• Edit and correct FIRM/DFIRM floodplain boundaries, floodways, BFEs, cross-sections, and supporting

layers.

• Update polygons, lines, and annotation layers as per FEMA standards.

2. Attribute & Schema Correction

• Update and correct attribute tables according to FEMA DFIRM Database Schema.
• Maintain proper naming conventions and data integrity.

3. Topology & QC Checks

• Perform topology validations such as identifying gaps, overlaps, slivers, and dangles.
• Execute QC workflows and resolve errors using FEMA tools and checklists.

4. GIS Software Operations

• Edit MAP/TAB files in MapInfo Pro 2023 for panel updates.
• Use ArcGIS Desktop/Pro for spatial corrections, layer validation, attribute cleanup, and layout updates.

5. Symbology & Map Layout

• Apply FEMA-compliant symbology, color codes, hatching, and labeling rules.
• Prepare final FIRM panel layouts and export FEMA-ready maps.

6. Documentation

• Maintain metadata and version control.
• Follow standardized naming conventions for layers, folders, and deliverables

• Required Skills

• GIS Technical Expertise
• • Strong experience with ArcGIS Desktop or ArcGIS Pro 3.6+ (Mandatory).
• • Working knowledge of MapInfo Pro 2023 (editing + attribute operations).
• • Proficiency in:
• o Polygon/line editing
• o Attribute cleanup
• o Topology checks
• o Schema corrections
• • Ability to switch effectively between ArcGIS and MapInfo environments.
• • Familiarity with FEMA layer types such as floodways, floodplains, cross-sections, BFEs, and revision
• layers (LOMR/CLOMR optional).
• • Understanding of FIRM/DFIRM layers and FEMA mapping guidelines.
• Soft Skills
• • Strong attention to detail.
• • Ability to follow structured workflows.
• • Good communication for reporting and coordination.
• • Willingness to collaborate across teams and time zones.
• Experience Required
• • 13 years of experience working on GIS (ArcGIS + MapInfo).
• • Freshers trained in GIS editing and FEMA basics may also be considered.

• Expected Deliverables

• • Corrected FIRM/DFIRM layers
• • Fixed topology and attribute schemas
• • FEMA-compliant symbology applied
• • Updated map layouts
• • Error-free GIS datasets (SHP/TAB)
• • Proper metadata documentation
