GIS Field Technician

BETA Group, Inc is looking for a May 2027 graduate ready to turn their GIS skills into real-world impact! As a GIS Field Technician, you’ll help municipalities see their communities in a whole new way—mapping the infrastructure people rely on every day, from sidewalks and curb ramps to streets and stormwater utilities.

At BETA, we bring GIS, engineering, planning, and environmental science together to help towns and cities better understand the places they serve. You’ll be out in the field collecting data, developing and analyzing spatial information, and bringing it to life through web-based platforms that help communities make smarter, data-driven decisions. The work you do will directly support safer, more efficient, and more sustainable communities.

This is an opportunity to get out from behind the classroom and put your GIS skills to work on projects that matter. You’ll collaborate with experienced engineers, planners, and scientists, gain hands-on experience in the field and in the office, and build your skills through mentorship, cross-training, and real project experience.

Responsibilities:

• Assist with the collection of field data and perform asset inspections
• Perform field measurements including but not limited to roadway, sidewalks, curb ramps, and other municipal infrastructure within the Right of Way
• Take ownership of daily field operations, including planning, coordinating, and executing data collection to meet project goals
• Edit and validate the collected data under the guidance of the project manager
• Help build and maintain geographic databases, tables, forms, and reports that bring municipal data to life
• Collaborate closely with engineers, planners, and other staff to ensure project deliverables meet high-quality standards
• Use cutting-edge technology like tablets, GPS devices, and GIS software to capture, manage, and analyze data efficiently

Preferred location is BETA’s Lincoln, RI office. Candidates should have flexibility to work from our other office locations. BETA also offers a hybrid work schedule, allowing employees to request working remotely up to 2 days per week.
