Cemetery Mapping Intern

The City of Platteville is seeking two Cemetery Mapping Interns in support of the Public Works Department. The Cemetery Mapping Interns will work with the Planner/Community Development Specialist to collect and verify field data using ArcGIS apps. No ArcGIS app experience is necessary for the position. Training will be provided. The interns will be responsible for creating a map layer for the Greenwood and Hillside cemeteries using ArcGIS Collector Apps and linking grave location information to a cemetery database. The Cemetery Mapping Interns data collection will be part of 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.

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/fall, 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 May 10, 2019
