This number does not include the hundreds of department-specific data layers maintained elsewhere! The GIS Office makes maps and manages geographic information for the City of Dubuque. Anything that has a place is something we can map - hydrants, rental licenses, buildings, and more! The City of Dubuque invites applications for a GIS Technician/Intern in our Water Department. The GIS Technician/Intern will assist Water Department professionals in building, maintaining, modifying and using GIS databases; perform some custom application development and provide user support; create and edit desktop GIS data; transcribe information from hard copy documentation into GIS, create maps for other departments; and collect field data using ArcGIS Online and iPads. Knowledge of ESRI ArcGIS Desktop or Pro Applications; completion of a minimum of two introductory courses related to GIS (such as ArcGIS I & II); or the equivalent professional experience to the course requirement qualification is required. The successful candidate will possess the ability to follow a management philosophy that is input oriented and values equity, problem solving and the development of partnerships; and the desire to be part of an organization that values service, people, integrity, responsibility, innovation and teamwork.
