Internship description

The main task of the intern will be to assist with finding, reviewing and summarising available national data across different EU countries on:

• cycling networks (cycle infrastructure, cycle routes),
• cycle usage data (cycling mode share, counting data),
• road safety data.

The intern will also have the opportunity to experience wider policy and project work at ECF. 

We offer a full-time, 6-month internship paid €1,035 monthly. This is a professional internship agreement, according to Belgian law, called Convention d’immersion professionnelle (FR) or Beroepsinlevingsovereenkomst (NL). It includes a clear description of the tasks and the expected competences acquired by the end of the internship.

Candidates must be eligible to work in the EU (European Union) and able to live and work in Belgium during their internship. The candidate must be able to start in February 2025.

We expect the candidates to:

• have a basic understanding of cycle infrastructure terminology,
• be able to open and understand the structure of GIS datasets in different formats (for example: ESRI shapefiles, geopackages, geoJSON, CSV),
• have a good command of spoken and written English,
• be able to use machine translation to find information on a website or in a document in a foreign language,
• be organised.

How to apply?

Please send a CV and a cover letter in English (maximum one page) in one PDF file to hr@ecf.com with the subject line ”First Name Last Name – GIS/Data Intern” by 18 January 2025.

Interviews will be conducted online on a rolling basis until we find a suitable candidate. We encourage you to apply right away if you think you are a good fit for the role. The interviews will consist of two parts:

• A technical exercise of approximately one hour, which we will use to determine a candidate’s technical familiarity with GIS datasets.
• A traditional 30-minute interview to inquire further about a candidate’s experience and qualifications, and to determine whether a candidate is a good fit for ECF.

Due to the high number of applications expected, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
