• integrate with inspection, operations, and compliance systems, and deliver risk-based analytics that drive operational and integrity decisions
• design the enterprise data model and standards, build spatial dashboards, lead mobile field data collection workflows, and own the long-term capability roadmap from foundational centerline data through predictive analytics and digital twin integration
• establish and manage One-Call/811 integration and stand up a drone-based ROW inspection program for pipeline right-of-way monitoring
• provide emergency response spatial support including rapid map generation, affected-area analysis, and proximity assessments during pipeline incidents
• collaborate cross-functionally with operations, maintenance, construction, facility engineering, and project development teams to ensure GIS supports day-to-day decision-making
