Job Summary: This position entails two primary functions. The first is to create digital maps of property boundaries based on legal descriptions found in real estate deeds and/or surveys. The second is to maintain digital files of the maps generated and other documents related to GALT’s conservation easement portfolio and to manage other databases as needed. More specifically, tasks within each area of responsibility will include:

Cadastral Survey Reading & Mapping

1. Digitally mapping individual real estate parcels/tracts using data from real estate deeds and legal descriptions . Final maps will be in .kml, .kmz, or .shp files depending on the need. Maps can be generated from systems such as AutoCAD or Esri’s ArcGIS Pro.

2. Applicant must be able to create maps from source documents and survey calls. Deed reading services such as Deed Reader Pro can be used to support deed interpretation, but the applicant must also be able to map without AI assistance and not relying on county tax assessor maps.

3. Applicant must become familiar, if not already familiar with, different data source types in Georgia and Alabama. For example, Alabama surveys often use the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) data showing land divided into a grid of townships and sections, while Georgia surveys often reference "land lots", referencing specific, smaller parcels of land created within those sections for ownership or sale.

4. Applicant must be able to look up and pull recorded deeds from courthouse records.

5. Applicant will need to compare changes in boundaries when a property is sold or subdivided by reading and mapping legal descriptions and/or surveys.

Records Management

1. The Records Manager will be responsible for maintaining property records on a Microsoft SharePoint database as well as in a conservation-specific database.

2. The Records Manager will set up new folders and files as necessary to track transferred and subdivided properties.

3. The Records manager will need to call landowners, closing attorneys, surveyors or other related parties as needed to clarify questions related to deeds and surveys. Customer contact skills are important.

4. There will be additional record management duties on a routine basis as well as associated with special projects and portfolio record updates.

Qualifications and Experience: 

• Commitment to the goals and mission of GALT. •
• Associates degree, Bachelor’s degree, or documented training in GIS, Mapping, Surveying or other related fields. Applicants are encouraged to describe pertinent experience.

To Apply:

Please submit your letter of interest and resume to lcompton@galandtrust.org. Email inquiries only, please. We look forward to reviewing your qualifications!
