Solano Land Trust is looking for a GIS specialist ready to bring both to one meaningful career. Since 1986, our team has permanently protected over 25,000 acres of Solano County's farms, ranches, and open spaces — and we're looking for someone as comfortable working with GIS programs as they are walking a working cattle ranch. As our GIS & Conservation Easement Monitoring Specialist , you'll manage and lead Solano Land Trust's GIS program — managing spatial data, producing the maps that drive our conservation work from initial due diligence through long-term protection, and supporting land transactions from start to finish. You'll also spend meaningful time in the field, visiting the farms and ranches whose owners have chosen to protect their land forever through conservation easements — permanent agreements that keep working lands working. Over time, you'll build the kind of trust-based relationships with ranchers and farmers that make conservation last. It's a rare role that genuinely needs both halves of you.

Key responsibilities include:

Managing all aspects of Solano Land Trust's GIS program, including spatial data infrastructure, ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and related conservation data platforms Scheduling and conducting annual site visits to all conservation easement sites in Solano Land Trust's portfolio, assessing compliance with easement agreement terms and documenting the condition of conservation values along with reporting and record retention. Assisting in drafting and updating required documentation for new acquisitions and properties We're looking for candidates with a degree in Geography/GIS, Environmental Science, or a related field, or at least two years of hands-on GIS experience. Be part of a professional and talented Transactions Team, working alongside our dedicated staff and volunteers.
