2026 Geographical Information Systems (GIS) Intern

Would you like to be our next Geographical Information Systems (GIS) Intern?

Do you quickly see a bigger picture when poring over data points? Can you help others connect those dots themselves in a comprehensive, accessible manner? Are you an advocate for the style of data-driven decision-making that supports the delivery of electric and fiber broadband services?

Tipmont’s Geographical Information Systems (GIS) internship opportunity may be perfect for you!

As part of Tipmont’s Engineering Analytics and GIS team, you will compile, manipulate and analyze geospatial data for Tipmont from such sources as censuses, field observation, satellite imagery, aerial photographs and existing maps. By researching existing databases and creating new ones, you’ll discover and communicate the strategic connections you find in data that spans socioeconomics, demographics, administrative or political boundaries, land use, land cover, environment, infrastructure and transportation.

If you can picture yourself collaborating with an amazing team of hard-working, adaptable colleagues, Tipmont may be your next education opportunity!

Topics that intrigue you include:

- Designing, developing and maintaining databases and systems of GIS data.

- Revising electric models with line / pole designation and electric delivery labeling.

- Creating reports, maps, apps and visualizations showing results of spatial analyses.

- Strategizing the integration and incorporation of GIS data in documents and reports.

- Developing and performing quality control on geographic systems to support GIS.

- Updating customer information systems.

- Utilizing scripting language to refine GIS data pipelines and processes.

- Supporting maintenance of reference data sets (lot lines, subdivisions, imagery).

- Operating and maintaining GIS system hardware, software and all peripherals.

During your time as a GIS intern, you will be introduced to and educated on these topics above. In addition, you’ll take on projects to put the skills you learn into practice.

You will join a company where all employees live by corporate values of innovation, public-service heart, passion, respect and making an impact. We do more than just speak to those values. We live them out every day — and so will you!
