The Role:
We are seeking an Enterprise GIS Administrator to oversee and support H2Safety's enterprise GIS platform. This hands-on role is responsible for administering ArcGIS Enterprise, managing PostgreSQL/PostGIS spatial databases and Esri geodatabases, publishing map services, and ensuring a reliable, secure, and high-performing GIS environment. Reporting to the GIS Manager, you will help support the GIS infrastructure behind our emergency management and response solutions.
Key Accountabilities
- Platform reliability and availability — Keep the core GIS platform — ArcGIS Enterprise, the PostGIS spatial database, and map-service publishing — stable, secure, and performant for client-facing, life-safety systems.
- Platform administration and upgrades — Own the installation, configuration, upgrade, and licensing of the full ArcGIS Enterprise stack.
- Spatial database ownership — Own the PostgreSQL/PostGIS (h2Spatial) environment and its Esri geodatabases, including schema governance, performance, migrations, and data consolidation.
- Publishing and service governance — Own map-service publishing standards and content lifecycle across the platform.
- Documentation and knowledge continuity — Maintain authoritative documentation of the platform's configuration, architecture, and operating procedures.
- Growth into automation — Build capability in Python and FME to add depth and continuity over time.
Key Duties
ArcGIS Enterprise Administration
- Install, configure, upgrade, and patch ArcGIS Enterprise (Server, Portal for ArcGIS, Data Store, Web Adapter) and manage federation across components.
- Manage certificates across all components, including renewals on server, portal, and the web application firewall.
- Administer licensing and named-user management and manage ArcGIS Pro client-side deployment.
- Own upgrade strategy, planning, and execution, along with Web GIS topology design and governance.
- Configure ArcGIS Monitor and own its alerting and operational runbooks.
- Engage Esri Canada for support escalations and professional services.
Spatial Database Administration
- Administer PostgreSQL/PostGIS on Azure Flexible Server: schema design, multi-schema permissions, versioning, indexing, performance tuning, and backup validation.
- Administer Esri enterprise geodatabases (SDE) on PostgreSQL, including connection management, compression, and reconcile/post.
- Own the h2Spatial database, including schema governance and ongoing consolidation of data from legacy sources.
- Plan and execute data migrations, and troubleshoot queries under production load.
- Assess and remediate data quality in inherited environments.
- Coordinate with the software development team on database design decisions that affect product features.
Map Service Publishing & Governance
- Publish and configure map services to ArcGIS Enterprise, and troubleshoot publishing and performance issues.
- Define and maintain publishing standards for naming, metadata, sharing, and performance.
- Manage content lifecycle to prevent service sprawl and maintain discoverability.
- Make service-architecture decisions affecting client-facing products, in coordination with software development.
Education, Experience & Credentials
Required:
- Degree in GIS, geomatics, computer science, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- 5+ years administering ArcGIS Enterprise (Server, Portal for ArcGIS, Data Store, Web Adapter), including installation, configuration, upgrades, federation, certificates, and licensing.
- Strong PostgreSQL/PostGIS administration, including spatial data modeling, performance tuning, indexing, and backup validation.
- Experience with Esri enterprise geodatabases (SDE) on PostgreSQL.
- Experience publishing and troubleshooting map services in ArcGIS Enterprise.
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Azure — enough to operate GIS workloads and collaborate effectively with the infrastructure team.
- Demonstrated ability to document technical systems and transfer knowledge to others.
Reliability, Security & Continuity
- Own the disaster-recovery posture for the GIS tier, including backup validation and restore testing.
- Support SOC 2 control alignment for the GIS platform.
- Monitor platform health and respond to incidents affecting client-facing systems.
- Collaborate with the Cloud & Infrastructure Lead on the Azure environment, networking, and security supporting the GIS platform.
Automation & Development (Growth Area)
- Support the existing Python and FME automation that feeds the GIS platform and publishing.
- With mentorship from the senior GIS developer, build hands-on capability in Python and FME workbench development.
- Provide additional depth and backup to the GIS development team as capability grows.
Documentation & Enablement
- Maintain authoritative documentation of platform configuration, architecture, and operating procedures, including the rationale behind key decisions.
- Mentor and enable GIS analysts and adjacent technical staff.
Preferred:
- Python for automation and integration, or a strong aptitude and willingness to learn it.
- FME (FME Form/Desktop and FME Flow/Server).
- ArcGIS Monitor and Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD).
- Familiarity with security practices for hosted platforms — web application firewalls, private endpoints, least-privilege access, and SOC 2.
- Experience migrating or modernizing legacy or undocumented GIS environments.
- Esri certifications.

Generous paid time off
Comprehensive health care plan
Company matching RRSP program
