Job description
Scout's GIS intern will contribute to the GIS team's goal of fostering successful renewable project development by leveraging data throughout the project lifecycle.

As an intern, you will work on one of the outlined projects below in addition to contributing to the core functions of the GIS team.
Projects:
Project Summary Table - the current Scout project summary table is a go-to resource for project information for many teams across the company, including GIS, but there is a lack of systems in place to maintain data recency, quality, or completeness. The intern would strategize and implement a full system to create, maintain, and visualize key project information that relevant to the GIS and Engineering teams. You'll play a key role in ensuring that a key dataset is accurate, up-to-date, and scales with Scout's future growth.
Targeted Majors: Information Science, Data Informatics, or similar technical degree
Reference Dataset Catalog - Scout subscribes to and has accumulated many datasets that are used for project prospecting, buildable areas, or internal analyses. The knowledge of these datasets and their uses resides primarily with the GIS team but likely have uses for many Scouts. The intern would create a catalog of all datasets that Scout uses for project development that could contain information such as the uses for the dataset, optimal values (what are we looking for when analyzing this dataset?), and how to access the data in various formats.
Targeted Majors: GIS, Computer Science, or similar technical degree
In addition to one of the projects above, the intern will also contribute to the core functions of the GIS group including both web and static map creation, project site assessment, and data management.
