GIS Associate Intern
EarthDefine is seeking a GIS Associate Intern who possesses a strong technical background in GIS/geospatial processes and is on a career track to become an Analyst. The successful candidate will provide GIS support through data processing, data management and analysis, process automation and will help manage client projects through project planning/delivery, setting the technical direction, and communicating with clients.
Who you are
You are someone who brings a good mix of geospatial and project management skills. You are inspired by our mission and are ready to contribute in a fast-paced technology start-up environment. Your geospatial kung-fu is strong and you enjoy building new skills. You’ll be right at home here if you are organized, cultivate strong relationships, and push yourself and your team to the next level. We expect our GIS Associate Intern to:
Embrace technology: You have a proven ability to quickly learn and use new geospatial technologies.
Be organized and detail oriented: You will help plan and successfully deliver projects on time and within budget. You are excellent at prioritization, follow-through, and time management.
Be a natural problem-solver: You anticipate challenges and opportunities within your work as it relates to our team and EarthDefine’s goals and priorities, and quickly generate creative solutions to meet our evolving needs.
Be collaborative. We want to hear your opinions. You will support the growth of your colleagues and help them create better solutions. You have great interpersonal, oral and written communication skills.
Thrive on change and ambiguity: You can fully embrace a fast-moving organization. You have a strong sense of urgency. Deadlines, changing priorities and new projects don’t scare you. Instead, they inspire you to rise to the occasion.
Be willing to step up to the plate. You’re eager to contribute and learn, willing to provide solutions before we even know there are issues. You are resourceful and acquire skills independently. You make ongoing process improvements. We have a strong commitment to the continuous growth of our team and we want people who are excited to be learning more.
