Hi Chad,
I hope this finds you well! My name is Jaclyn Carlsen and I work on the ICT and Geospatial Services team at DAI. We have two opportunities opening up at DAI that I wanted to reach out to you about. We received your name through Bill Morris.
1) Short term GIS assignment in Haiti
Location: Haiti, Cap Haitian area
We're looking to fill a position as soon as possible for the Haiti Feed the Future North project, so that the project consultant can begin working in-country at the end of May / beginning of June. Dates can be adjusted, but if you're interested, please let us know asap; we would like to make a decision early next week. The SOW is pasted below and would not conflict with consideration for the Senior Geospatial Products Developer position. Also, please let me know if you speak French.
2) Senior Geospatial Developer Position
Location: Bethesda, Maryland

Thanks, and please let us know if you have any questions. Please feel free to forward this to professionals within your network.
Warm regards,
