About the role

  • Maintain situational awareness of DHS-related events, incidents, and threats to anticipate geospatial reporting requirements that may impact FPS protected federal facilities and operations.
  • Produce time-sensitive GIS products in support of emergent incident reporting, operational reporting, RFIs, and executive briefings, ensuring products are accurate, clear, and optimized for senior leader consumption.
  • Maintain and update the FPS Common Operating Picture (COP) by developing and sustaining geospatial views that reflect current incidents, operations, and impacts to FPS protected sites.
  • Maintain the GIS database and ensure data layers are current, validated, and aligned to reporting needs (e.g., facility proximity/impact mapping, event footprints, regional overlays, and operational reference layers).
  • Administer FPS GIS portal group membership and content governance by managing access, archiving outdated materials, and maintaining an organized, operationally useful portal environment.
  • Configure, modify, and support ESRI portal applications (as required), including Web App Builder, Survey123, Workforce, and Story Maps, enabling mission users to collect, view, and share geospatial information efficiently.
  • Train watch standers and FPS personnel on GIS tools, portal applications, and repeatable mapping workflows to improve consistency and speed of geospatial product delivery during steady-state and incident operations.
  • Coordinate with FPS programs with geospatial elements (including MIST/Telematics and related initiatives) to ensure data alignment, interoperability, and effective operational use of geospatial capabilities.
  • Coordinate with the DHS Geospatial Center of Excellence to stay current on DHS-provided geospatial capabilities and identify opportunities to enhance FPS geospatial support.
  • Support development of executive-level reports, products, and briefings as directed by the Senior Watch Officer (SWO), ensuring GIS visuals and supporting narratives meet Watch production standards.
  • Produce reporting products and briefs that integrate geospatial analysis with operational context, clearly explaining impacts, relationships, and relevance to FPS operations.
  • Maintain documentation of GIS procedures and content management practices to support continuity, repeatability, and version control of geospatial products.
