Geospatial Solutions Intern

Propeller is on a mission to take the guesswork out of moving dirt - reducing wasted fuel, time, and money. We do this through the power of maps.

Our customers use Propeller’s integrated hardware and software products to capture accurate 3D versions of their worksites using drones. With over 50,000 worksites worldwide using Propeller’s smart survey technology, we empower project teams to map, measure, and manage site activity.

Propeller empowers everyone to approach, own, and solve problems creatively. We’re data nerds who care about impact, honesty, and each other. We take pride in being a great place to work and are proud to be recognized as a Fast Company and BuiltIn Best Place to Work. You can learn more about us on Glassdoor.

Interested in an internship opportunity?

Every day, our Geospatial Specialists process hundreds of drone surveys from our customers. In this program, you’ll get to work alongside them to learn how construction sites, mines, aggregates, and landfills get the most out of their survey data using Propeller.

This is a hands-on program where you’ll put into practice what you’re learning at University, and gain exposure to new technical concepts and applications. You'll explore first hand how Propeller synthesizes various geospatial technology (photogrammetry, GNSS, LiDAR) while you observe and assist our team with processing real client data!

What does a Geospatial Solutions Intern do?

You and potentially a small group of interns will join Propeller as we support our customers to make smart decisions on their worksites.

Here are some of the tasks you'll be responsible for:

• Learn about UAV-survey terms and best practices
• Learn how Propeller produces actionable spatial information for our customers from their data
• Learn about Propeller's web-based GIS platform and the common ways our customers use it in a diverse range of industries
• Process survey data for our customers
• Learn how we troubleshoot photogrammetry and PPK data
• Learn backend and frontend processing in Propeller.
  

You’ll also have the opportunity to tackle a real-world problem that you’re passionate about! At the end of the program, you’ll present your findings to the Data Success Team (including many fellow alumni with degrees in GIS-related fields) and to senior leadership.

Have real experience processing actual photogrammetry data from our clients in the construction, mining, and other industries.

• Be familiar with the Propeller processing workflow.
• Experience the unique culture we have in Propeller.
