Job description

What is the Opportunity?

Aecon Civil is a recognized leader in the market, backed by strong self‑perform capabilities and deep local expertise. We play a key role in building and enhancing infrastructure across Canada, the U.S., and an expanding international footprint improving everyday life through the roads, bridges, tunnels, and transit systems that connect communities. With more than a century of experience and a full suite of integrated services, Aecon is a trusted partner for delivering complex civil projects, including tunnels, transit expansions, airports, ports, highways, and large‑scale site development.


Reporting to the GIS Manager, the GIS Specialist will bridge geospatial, CAD/BIM, and construction operations. You’ll own data integration flows with FME, maintain spatial data that supports RFP, design, pre‑construction, and field execution; and build scalable tools (scripts/dashboards) to improve decision-making and reduce rework.

What You’ll Do Here:

  • Work with GIS Manager to design and effectively employ geospatial solutions on regulatory and permitting elements of infrastructure and transportation planning projects.
  • Build and maintain ETL pipelines in FME to integrate CAD/BIM (DWG/DGN/RVT/IFC), survey, as‑built, LiDAR, and enterprise GIS (Esri) into authoritative datasets.
  • Support construction ops: field maps, work packages, redlines/as-builts, utility conflicts, spatial QA/QC, and progress tracking.
  • Develop scripts/tools (e.g., Python, ArcGIS API, ArcPy, FME transformers, REST) to automate workflows and publish web maps/apps.
  • Manage CAD/GIS schema alignment, layer standards, projections, georeferencing, versioning, and metadata.
  • Build dashboards (ArcGIS Dashboards/Experience Builder/Power BI) and publish web services (feature/imagery/tiles).
  • Collaborate with IDD team for requirements, support, and training.
  • Site travel will be required 20% of the time within Ontario (mostly GTA).
  • Perform other duties as needed.

What You Bring to the Team:

  • 3–7 years in GIS with FME and CAD/BIM-to-GIS data integration experience.
  • Strong with Esri stack (ArcGIS Pro/Enterprise/Portal/Online), geodatabases, feature services.
  • Hands-on with CAD/BIM formats (DWG/DGN/RVT/IFC), georeferencing, coordinate systems.
  • Construction lifecycle exposure (design → precon → construction → as-built/asset handoff).
  • Python (ArcPy or ArcGIS API for Python), SQL; understanding of REST services is considered an asset.
  • Experience with Field Maps/Survey123/Collector, Revit/IFC extractions, Civil 3D is considered an asset.
  • Knowledge and experience with Power BI is considered an asset.
  • QA/QC frameworks, data governance, ISO/COGO, utility mapping knowledge is considered an asset.
  • Strong organizational, time management and interpersonal skills.
  • Proven analytical and problem solving abilities; including experience creating analytical based reports.
  • Strong interpersonal, written and oral communication skills.

Reason for Vacancy: New

Pay Range: $70,000-$90,000

Individual pay is determined based on several factors, including work location, education, experience, unique skills and job conditions. Other considerations may include certifications, specialized training, and the complexity or scope of the role.
