GIS Cartographer

Description

• Manage quality control of map outputs: check legend, scale, projection, symbology, layout, and metadata before publication.
• Create, maintain, and apply consistent symbology libraries, map templates, layout standards, and graphic representation rules tailored to different audiences (internal teams, clients, public consultation).
• Access and organise spatial data in the project’s ArcGIS Enterprise environment. Retrieve data from different sources (CAD, GIS, tabular, remote sensing) and convert / format as needed for cartographic production.
• Work closely with GIS analysts, engineers, planners, and other stakeholders to understand their requirements, translate them into clear map products, and ensure the maps meet both technical and visual standards.
• Support publishing of finalized map products to the portal (via ArcGIS Enterprise) and ensure users can access and interact with the maps when required.
• Design and produce thematic and analytical maps (e.g., consultation maps, corridor analyses, environmental & infrastructure layers) using ArcGIS Pro.
• Ensure map accuracy, readability, and usability by applying cartographic design principles (colour, typography, hierarchy, readability).
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of cartographic best practices, GIS technology trends, and software capabilities; contribute to continuous improvement of mapping workflows.
• Publish finalized map products through ArcGIS Enterprise and contribute to interactive web applications using Experience Builder and ArcGIS Dashboards.
• Perform basic spatial data processing, format conversion (e.g., CAD to shapefile/geodatabase), coordinate system conversion, and georeferencing as needed.

Requirements

• Reasons for requiring bilingualism: You will have the opportunity to work with a varied clientele, including both French- and English-speaking companies. Bilingualism is therefore fundamental to building strong relationships with our customers, understanding their specific needs, communicating effectively in their preferred language and facilitating strategic meetings.
• Demonstrable ability to create and maintain symbology libraries, templates, and map layouts suited to different audiences.
• Experience sourcing data from multiple formats (CAD, GIS, tabular, remote sensing) and converting/formatting data for cartographic use.
• Strong attention to detail, ability to work under deadlines, and manage multiple tasks concurrently.
• Experience in infrastructure/transportation mapping, corridor mapping, or thematic mapping for public consultation. (asset)
• Strong proficiency in ArcGIS Pro for map creation, layout design, symbology, and visualization.
• Experience using QGIS, Adobe Illustrator, or similar graphic design software for map refinement. (asset)
• Clear verbal and written communication skills, both in French and in English*
• Working knowledge of ArcGIS Enterprise / ArcGIS Online for accessing data, sharing layers, and collaborating across teams.
• Excellent graphic sensibility: understanding colour theory, typography, map readability, and visual hierarchy.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills: able to liaise with technical teams, understand their needs, and deliver map products accordingly.
