Security Mapping Specialist

We’re hiring a

Security Mapping Specialist

to work embedded with the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP), supporting real-time security operations, emergency response, and high-profile national events.

If you have strong

GIS

and

AutoCAD

skills and want to apply them in a fast-paced, mission-critical environment where your work directly supports public safety, this is a rare opportunity. This is a full-time contractor (1099) role, offering consistent hours and long-term engagement in a mission-critical environment.

About the Role
This is a full-time, on-site role based in Washington, DC, working directly alongside USCP and other federal agencies. You’ll develop and maintain

operational mapping used for emergency response, major events, and day-to-day security planning

across the Capitol Campus. This role goes beyond traditional drafting—it sits at the intersection of

design, operations, and real-world decision-making , with exposure to high-level coordination and national-scale events.

What You’ll Do

Develop AutoCAD and GIS-based maps supporting emergency response and incident planning

Produce layouts for major events (inaugurations, demonstrations, state events, etc.)

Support rapid updates to mapping during evolving situations

Coordinate with law enforcement, emergency management, and facilities teams

Maintain standardized templates and mapping protocols

Participate in planning meetings and translate feedback into updated visuals

What We’re Looking For

2–6 years of AutoCAD & GIS experience (civil, planning, telecom, or related preferred)

Strong spatial awareness and ability to think operationally

Ability to work under pressure with quick turnaround times

High attention to detail and strong version control discipline

Strong communication and coordination skills

Nice to Have

Experience with site planning, infrastructure layouts, or urban environments

Exposure to emergency management, public safety, or government projects

Familiarity with multi-agency coordination environments

Interest in security, operations, or real-time response

Why This Role Is Different

Your work directly supports emergency response and national-level events

Be embedded with a high-profile federal client

Move beyond drafting into operational impact and decision support

Work on one of the most sensitive and visible campuses in the country

While this is a contractor role, you’ll be part of one of the fastest-growing specialty consulting firms in the industry , with opportunities to expand into projects across healthcare, higher education, and other mission-critical sectors
