Original job description

GIS Intern, Chase, British Columbia

Ready to take

what you’re learning in school and put it to work? At

Interfor, we’re looking for future leaders who are curious, hands-on,

and eager to learn. You’ll work alongside experienced professionals, build

practical skills, and gain a better understanding of the work that supports

responsible forestry and the wood products industry. If you enjoy mapping,

technology, and using information to solve real operational challenges, this

internship offers the chance to see how spatial data supports forestry

decisions.

This is an on-site internship with an anticipated start date in May.

Ideally, you’ll be available for a 4 to 8 month term.

What We Offer

At Interfor,

you won’t spend your internship watching from the

sidelines. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute, grow, and build

experience you can carry into your future career. We offer competitive

compensation for interns, including:

  • Salaries starting from $3,700 per month (based on your year in school and previous experience).
  • Temporary living allowance for
    interns moving to the area for the role.

What You’ll Do

  • Gain hands-on experience using GIS technology to support forestry and operational projects.
  • Create, update, and analyze maps and spatial data used in real-world decision making.
  • Explore how GIS connects field activities, reporting, and sustainable forest management.
  • Support projects that improve data accuracy, accessibility, and operational efficiency.
  • Build technical, analytical, and problem-solving skills while learning from experienced professionals.

What You Offer

  • You are working toward a degree or diploma in GIS, Geography, Forestry, Environmental Science, or a related program.
  • You have experience with GIS tools such as ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro, or ArcGIS Online, and are comfortable using Microsoft Excel.
  • You can analyze information and communicate findings clearly, both verbally and in writing.
  • You take ownership of high-quality, timely work and are comfortable solving problems independently.
  • You are interested in how spatial data and technology support broader operational and business goals.

We Are

At Interfor, our culture is built on integrity,

respect, and collaboration. We believe in giving students meaningful

experience, supporting career development, and operating sustainably

you. Learn more at interfor.com.
