SUMMER COLLEGE INTERN - Asset Management

TASK FORCE: Value Engineering & Asset Management

UNIT: Asset Management

JOB TITLE: One (1) Summer Intern

CONTROL CODE: VE Intern-26-02

SUMMARY:

The Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is the City government's chief financial agency. OMB's staff of analysts and experts assembles and oversees the Mayor’s expense and capital budgets, which fund the services and activities of approximately 90 City agencies and entities.

The Asset Management Unit runs the Asset Inventory Management System (AIMS) a Charter-mandated function that maintains the City’s capital plant inventory and condition information, along with agency maintenance schedules and cost estimates. This work is designed to create public accountability for keeping major City assets from buildings to bridges to roads in good repair, strengthening how NYC tracks, maintains, and invests in the assets our communities depend on every day.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

The intern will design and develop an agency-facing web application that provides a dashboard and streamlined data-sharing interface for the Asset Inventory Management System (AIMS). Building on an existing proof-of-concept built in Python/Streamlit, the intern will create a more polished, user-friendly tool that enables City agencies to view, query, and export asset inventory data relevant to their portfolios. The application should feature interactive visualizations, filtering and search capabilities, and clear data presentation that makes AIMS data accessible to non-technical agency users. The intern will work closely with the Asset Management Unit to understand data structures, user needs, and reporting requirements, and will have the opportunity to shape a tool that improves how the City shares and acts on capital asset information.

QUALIFICATIONS:

- Demonstrated experience building a web application (work samples or a portfolio of past projects is a strong plus)
- Proficiency in Python; experience with web frameworks such as Streamlit, Flask, or Django
- Familiarity with SQL and relational databases (SQL Server experience is a plus)
- Experience building dashboards and data visualizations (e.g., Plotly, Matplotlib, or JavaScript charting libraries)
- Understanding of front-end fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) for UI/UX polish
- Ability to work with real-world, messy datasets and translate data into clear, actionable views
- Strong problem-solving skills and comfort working iteratively with stakeholder feedback
- Interest in civic technology, public sector innovation, or urban infrastructure
- Familiarity with version control (Git) and basic deployment workflows is a plus
- Prior coursework or project experience in computer science, data science, information systems, or a related field
