GIS Student Intern

The City of Platteville is seeking two GIS Student Interns in support of the Public Works Department. The GIS Student Intern will work with the Planner/Community Development Specialist to create maps in ArcMap and ArcGIS online; enter data into databases; and collect field information using ArcGIS apps.  The intern will be responsible for creating a map layer for the Greenwood and Hillside cemeteries using ArcGIS and linking grave location information to a cemetery database. The GIS interns will work towards creating an interactive online Cemetery Map for the Greenwood and Hillside Cemeteries for cemetery visitors to lookup grave locations. This online map will assist with facilities and grounds management, records management, interment planning, locating existing interments and provide a cultural resource. There will be training sessions at the beginning of the internship to familiarize the intern with the objectives of the project and cemetery operations.

This internship is offered at $12.00 per hour and is anticipated to last approximately 14-16 weeks beginning in the spring of 2019. It is possible that the project could be done on a part-time basis during the spring/summer semester, and the City is open to discussing flexibility with the timing of the project. The anticipated completion is by September 1st, 2019.

The position will be open until filled. The first round of applications will be reviewed on February 22, 2019
