BRIEF JOB DESCRIPTION: This is advanced technical services work in operating the Maine Geological Survey’s Geographic Information System.

A commitment to craftsmanship is expected. The position requires a high level of organization and attention to detail in maintaining the MGS Publications, Map Status, and Mapping Databases. The position will operate large-format ink jet plotters and a wide-format digital scanner.
