GIS & Engineering Intern

Position Summary

The GIS and Engineering Intern Program provides a progressive, hands-on learning experience that guides interns through the full lifecycle of infrastructure documentation and design support. Interns begin with field GIS data collection, where they interpret plans and as-builts, trace conduit and fiber routes, use utility-locate equipment, and capture accurate spatial and asset data to document existing conditions. The program then transitions into GIS data encoding, focusing on validating field information and converting it into standardized digital records by associating attributes, linking documentation, updating connectivity diagrams, and performing quality checks to ensure data integrity. In the final phase, interns work alongside CAD professionals on construction and fiber optic plan development, assisting with plan sheets, layouts, and fiber splice diagrams by incorporating field data and as-built information into clear, accurate drawings. Together, these phases provide interns with a comprehensive understanding of how field data evolves into reliable GIS records and engineered plan sets that support construction, maintenance, and long-term operations.
