Other parking planning and analysis tasks may be assigned as needed.

The Parking Services Interns will report to the Parking Services Manager in the Transportation Division of Public Works. Day-to-day work activities on the parking projects will be led by Gordon Hansen, Senior Planner and goBerkeley Program Manager. Interested candidates should apply on the City’s Employment page, selecting the “Intern” classification and indicating an interest in “Public Works - Transportation” in the Supplemental Questions (Link here: https://bit.ly/2WgRu20). Candidates should also be prepared to share GIS and Adobe Creative Suite work samples, as applicable and if available.
