The Design & Construction (D&C) unit has professional engineering oversight for geometric design elements of NYC roadways. We draw on expertise and talent of Civil Engineers, Urban Designers, Planners, Asset Managers, Inspectors, Administrators, Analysts, and others to evolve and maintain the curb geometry and street plans for all NYC’s 6300+ miles of roads, create and maintain official pavement marking and concrete island plans, and oversee the application and refurbishment of NYC’s 250+ million linear feet of pavement markings (stripes, messages, colored surface treatments for bus/bike/plaza, etc.).

This is an opportunity for an ambitious and motivated intern to improve NYC Streets and help achieve the Mayoral Vision Zero initiative. We are seeking an intern with a strong understanding of ESRI ArcMap, ArcPro, Python (especially Arcpy and Pandas), and relational databases. The project involves preparing data for the new Markings Asset Management Database, a state-of-the-art system being developed by DOT’s IT to track marking updates and installation costs in NYC. The system integrates ArcGIS and Autodesk CAD software platforms in an SQL environment.

The intern will participate in developing methods to generate lines using ArcGIS, assist in cleaning and realigning spatial features, document workflows, automate workflows using Python, and participate in weekly strategy meetings with IT and the GIS team. This internship offers practical experience in GIS and CAD software platforms, Python programming, and database management. It’s an opportunity to contribute to a major city infrastructure project and gain valuable insights into the workings of a large municipal department and its IT and GIS teams.
