| GIS Specialist | Weyerhaeuser | | October 2005 - present | Natchitoches, LA | • Serve as final quality control for our ArcGIS 9.3 geodatabase, covering 375,000 acres of Louisiana and Texas, insuring system integrity. Perform statistical analysis on incoming data, reconciliation within GIS, and troubleshooting any data issues that arise.
Participate in corporate-level meetings to determine the company’s use of ArcSDE and ArcGIS, including discussions on layers and attributes, data standardization and normalization, and methods to maintain long-term system integrity.
Run regular reports to locate any data consistency issues, which I then resolve through attribute correction, layer topology correction, and linked-layer map topology correction.
Perform all work within an ArcSDE/Oracle 9.2 geodatabase, which includes analysis, compression, versioning, creation of new feature classes, adding and changing database fields, and adding and updating attribute indexes.
Perform all direct edits to our ArcGIS system, which includes 22 distinct point, line, and polygon layers such as points of interest, roads and utilities, and operational ownership.
Personally utilize photogrammetry techniques, ortho-rectified aerial photos, acreage plats and drawings, surveys, and other third-party documents (such as shapefiles) to refine and enhance the ArcGIS 9.3 database.
Integrate data (in adherence to organizational standards for symbology, labeling, and layering) from LiDAR flights, shapefiles, rasters, GPS data, and additional data obtained through field work, into the ArcGIS 9.3 geodatabase.
Personally perform on-site (field) inspections for data validation and verification purposes, which include data gathering, GPS tracking and locating devices, and other hands-on tools and methods.
Provide training and Level 1 technical support for ArcGIS Desktop within my organization, as well as provide technical support of shapefiles and personal geodatabases for field workers and contractors.
Responsibilities have grown from an original 250,000 acres geodatabase to a 375,000 acres geodatabase, as new land was acquired and personnel and regions were reallocated.
Supply contractors and other employees with exported shapefiles, maps, and other data sets (such as personal geodatabases) to support operations. Provide real-time assistance using GPS location and other technologies, as needed. Weyerhaeuser contractors use GPS-integrated tractors and bulldozers, and these shapefiles defined the work area. This keeps operations compliant with EPA and SFI regulations, and avoids legal issues by keeping workers out of protected creeks, watersheds, and adjacent properties.
• Edit layers using spatial analysis functions for both daily operations and special projects while following accepted mapping protocols and symbology. Also create reports to monitor the state of our inventory and for budgeting purposes.
• Export reports from Weyerhaeuser’s LIMS and CAPS accounting software and processed those reports in MS Excel to reconcile acres that are invoiced/paid versus acres in the GIS database denoted by that activity.
• Use MS Excel daily to process reports using pivot tables and charts, analyze raw data (ex: as an intermediate step in reconciling data from Forestry Field System, a cruise-processing application), perform data manipulation from attribute dumps of system data, and create spreadsheets that were used as the primary data transfer format between co-workers.
• Drafted and implemented a verification process for our LiDAR flights of the North Louisiana region. I managed a team of 9 coworkers to rapidly identify a representative subset, collect data using field measurements and GPS technologies, and analyze that data to ascertain the accuracy of the LiDAR flights.
• Identified requirements and documented collection specifications for timber assessment and inventory purposes. As part of this, I created and refined a “contractor accuracy verification process” to track adherence to our specifications. To speed adoption from all parties, I trained the contractors directly in what was required of their field survey efforts. | | Contract Admin/Harvest Mgr | Weyerhaeuser | | June 2005 - October 2005 | Natchitoches, LA | • Performed contract administration for short-term and long-term logging and chipping contracts for up to five independent logging contractors while ensuring that logging crews follow all OSHA, EPA, and state environmental regulations.
• Oversaw physical tract set-up, quality control of timber assets delivered, and production tracking for contract logging crews.
• Tracked production goals and metrics for five logging crews using MS Excel.
• Served as the Internal Environmental Management System Auditor for the North Louisiana region. | | Procurement Forester/Harvest Mgr | Weyerhaeuser | | October 2002 - June 2005 | Russellville, AR | • Served as contract administrator for short-term and long-term logging contracts for up to five independent logging contractors while ensuring that logging crews follow all OSHA, EPA, and state environmental regulations.
• Created log flow and production tracking systems for the Russellville timber-buying region in MS Excel.
• Worked with USFS foresters to coordinate road building and repair, timber removal, tract set up, and environmental close-outs.
• Served as Internal Environmental Management System Auditor for the Arkansas/Oklahoma region. | | Contract Admin/Harvest Mgr | Weyerhaeuser | | January 1999 - October 2002 | Pine Hill, AL and Bruce, MS | • Served as contract administrator for short-term and long-term logging contracts for up to seven independent logging contractors while ensuring that logging crews follow all OSHA, EPA, and state environmental regulations.
• Tracked production goals and metrics for seven logging crews using MS Excel.
• Created an MS Access database to track log truck numbers, drivers, companies, and driver audits to help prevent accidents.
• Was the subject matter expert for Health & Safety Exchange audit with a strong understanding of OSHA regulations.
• Created an ArcView 3.2 GIS database to combine company-owned tracts and tracts purchased from private landowners to better predict the necessary logging crew resources and reduce logging and stumpage costs.
• Utilized MS Excel to compare logging production goals vs. actual results to ensure correct log distribution to the mills.
• Taught mandatory classes on Environmental regulations for Professional Logging Certification. |
| | | | Other Information | • Received three special recognition awards for “Continuous Improvement and Maintenance to the State of the Inventory”.
• Experience with Weyerhaeuser’s standard suite of applications – MS Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, and other software tools.
