This role provides hands-on experience, helps build a portfolio, and allows professionals to give back to the community while improving their technical skills.

What kinds of projects does a software engineer volunteer typically work on?

As a Software Engineer Volunteer, you may work on a variety of projects, such as building and maintaining web or mobile applications, automating workflows, or assisting with data analysis and reporting tools for nonprofits or community organizations. Projects often address real-world needs, like increasing accessibility, improving user experience, or supporting fundraising platforms. You might work independently or as part of a diverse, cross-functional team, often collaborating remotely. This experience provides valuable opportunities to refine your technical skills, expand your professional network, and make a meaningful impact through your expertise.

Familiarity with version control systems (like Git), collaborative platforms (such as GitHub), and possibly agile project management tools is highly advantageous. Excellent communication, teamwork, and time-management skills can set you apart in a volunteer environment where resources and supervision may be limited. These competencies are vital for contributing effectively, solving problems independently, and supporting organizational goals in a collaborative, often fast-paced setting.

Our Electrical Engineering team serves clients throughout the country and are comprised of folks in our Green Bay, Mankato, Sioux Falls and Des Moines offices. We are a full-service, multi-disciplinary team, who performs award-winning work in planning, design, survey, and construction. In this role, you would work directly with Mike Nelson, PE, Electrical Lead, along with others from the electrical engineering team.
As an ISG employee owner, you will continue to grow in your career. You'll learn from us, and we'll learn from you. You'll have the freedom and autonomy to do your best work with plenty of support along the way. Our culture is essential to our success and your engagement in it.

We've listed a compensation range that reflects our expectations for this role, including both direct and indirect components. We understand that your experience and value may fall outside of this range. If you feel you're a strong fit but your compensation needs differ, we're open to a conversation-let's talk.

Additional qualifications include:
  • Understanding of building systems, power, distribution, and lighting.
  • Experience with design standards and codes for public building design.
  • High level of technical and organization skills accompanied by strong oral and written communication.
