GIS Expert

This role is ideal for experienced GIS professionals holding a Post-Graduation in GIS/Remote Sensing/Programming with at least 5 years of relevant work experience, preferably within a Forest Division in Odisha. Candidates should possess strong technical skills in GIS software, Python, R, and data management (MS-Excel, web-based tools). Those seeking a temporary, contract-based engagement with the state government, focusing on natural resource data management, will find this opportunity suitable.

Individuals lacking a post-graduate qualification or the stipulated minimum 5 years of experience in GIS, especially within a forest department context, should not apply. Those aspiring for permanent government positions or higher pay scales might find the temporary, fixed-remuneration nature of this engagement less appealing.

This position offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to environmental and forest management within the Cuttack Forest Division, a state government entity under the Government of Odisha. While it's a contract-based role with fixed pay and a single vacancy, it provides specialized experience in a critical area of natural resource management, which can enhance one's professional profile in GIS and environmental sectors. The role's temporary nature limits long-term career growth within this specific engagement, but the exposure can open doors to similar specialist roles.
