  • Comfort working with Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel, plus a willingness to learn Fisher standards, workflows, and project delivery expectations.
  • Ability to communicate with supervisors, GIS staff, survey teams, engineers, planners, and project managers to clarify data needs and keep deliverables moving.
  • Interest in municipal, transportation, civil/site, environmental, utility, planning, survey, and community-shaping project work.
  • Professional behaviors aligned with Fisher values: Aspire to Excellence, Teamwork and Respect, Owning our Results, and Empowered Employees.

Why Join Fisher
  • Start or grow your GIS career in a collaborative Land Survey + Data Solutions group where your mapping accuracy, curiosity, and technical discipline matter.
  • Work on meaningful infrastructure, municipal, transportation, civil/site, environmental, planning, survey, and geospatial projects across Upstate New York and Fisher's broader footprint.
  • Learn from experienced GIS, survey, engineering, and project delivery professionals while building practical skills in ArcGIS, data standards, QA/QC, and client-ready deliverables.
  • Join a flexible, team-oriented culture built on mentorship, accessible leadership, continuous improvement, ownership, respect, and professional growth.
  • Contribute to clear, reliable geospatial information that helps clients, communities, and project teams make better decisions.
