Overview


As part of the national Geographic Information Systems team, you will contribute to integrating ALTO project design data into GIS environments. Working with the engineering, design, and GIS teams, you will prepare, convert, clean, georeference, validate, and maintain data, particularly from CAD environments, so it can be reliably used in geodatabases, analyses, and project deliverables.


Your role


  • Prepare, convert, clean, georeference, validate, and maintain GIS data received from engineering and design teams.
  • Convert CAD data into GIS formats while preserving geometry, attributes, units, coordinate systems, and source traceability.
  • Verify the spatial positioning, georeferencing, projection, and alignment of design data with project reference data.
  • Structure and integrate converted data into geodatabases in accordance with established models, naming conventions, and standards.
  • Perform quality control checks on geometry, attributes, topology, duplicates, completeness, and consistency of integrated data.
  • Identify, document, and correct discrepancies between design data and GIS data, and flag issues requiring a technical decision.
  • Update metadata, conversion logs, and documentation to ensure traceability of data and transformations.
  • Produce maps, reference layers, and standardized datasets to support design coordination and project team requirements.
  • Collaborate with GIS, CAD, BIM, engineering, and design teams to clarify requirements, resolve integration issues, and meet project schedules.
  • Proficiency in French or English; French–English bilingualism is a significant asset due to collaboration with teams in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada.*

* This position requires knowledge of a language other than French, namely English, as it involves collaboration with members of the Canadian or global leadership team located outside Québec.
