Production Team Lead

Responsibilities

• Lead the day-to-day activities of a geospatial production team supporting mobile mapping, roadway imagery, LiDAR, and transportation asset inventory workflows.
• Cook up daily production assignments, priorities, operator questions, workflow execution, and task completion.
• Serve as the first point of contact for production blockers, workflow clarification, quality questions, and operator support needs.
• Provide clear direction, coaching, and support to production operators to ensure work is completed accurately and consistently.
• Support onboarding, retraining, skill development, and performance feedback for assigned team members.
• Support production workflows involving mobile mapping data, roadway imagery, mobile LiDAR, geospatial tools, and transportation asset inventory datasets.
• Run production tools, validation tools, GIS applications, AI-assisted workflows, or other technical systems needed to support production delivery.
• Aid operators with reviewing imagery, interpreting transportation assets, interacting with geospatial data, and completing asset extraction or validation tasks.
• Support production activities for transportation assets such as signs, signals, pavement markings, curb ramps, sidewalks, bridges, drainage features, and other roadway or roadside assets.
• Identify workflow gaps, unclear requirements, tool issues, or recurring production challenges that may affect quality, throughput, or schedule.

Quality Control and Standards

• Review production outputs for accuracy, completeness, consistency, and adherence to documented project standards.
• Perform quality checks on geospatial production data, including attribution, feature placement, asset classification, completeness, and project-specific requirements.
• Reinforce standard operating procedures, checklists, production expectations, and quality standards across the team.
• Document quality findings, production concerns, operator questions, and workflow issues clearly and consistently.
• Identify recurring quality issues and recommend practical improvements to reduce rework and improve consistency.

Production Tracking and Continuous Improvement

• Maintain production performance, including throughput, productivity, quality, rework, backlog, and schedule progress.
• Use production metrics, dashboards, spreadsheets, tracking tools, or reporting methods to identify risks and communicate status.
• Escalate risks, blockers, data concerns, or quality issues to project managers, QA/QC staff, or technical leads as appropriate.
• Contribute to standard operating procedures, training guides, quality standards, workflow documentation, and process improvement efforts.
