The Infrastructure Services Directorate (IS) maintains FacilityMax (FMax), an integrated workplace management system with modules supporting facilities, infrastructure, and operations. As reporting demands and data update needs continue to grow, maintaining data accuracy and consistent script execution is essential to support reliable operational reporting.

Under the direction of a mentor, the intern will assist with the execution and testing of SQL scripts used for routine operational updates, support validation of report outputs, and help verify data consistency between FMax and related reporting tools. The intern will work with live production data in a controlled environment to support recurring reporting processes and document script logic and data checks.

This project provides hands-on experience with SQL scripting, enterprise data maintenance, and operational reporting workflows
