**Job summary**:
The UK Hydrographic Office is a leading centre for hydrography, providing marine geospatial data to inform maritime decisions. We work with a wide range of data suppliers and partners to support maritime navigation, safety, security and marine development around the UK and worldwide.

These Year in Industry Placements sit within Operations Division and will run from Summer 2023 through to Summer 2024 (12 months). These opportunities are specifically designed for students undertaking a relevant undergraduate degree with a Year in Industry placement option at the end of the second year. **This is a pre-requisite for applying**.

These opportunities will enable you to gain “real-world” experience of using the skills and knowledge that you have been building (depending on your course of study). You will be directly involved in the delivery of services or products for customers whose safety at sea relies on the accuracy and timeliness of the information the UK Hydrographic Office provides.

**Job description**:
The purpose of the role is to support the acquisition and use of hydrographic information and subsequent processing into navigational products and services. Interns are integral to our operational activity and contribute to meeting safety and production targets.

Our Year in Industry placement students join the UKHO as a cohort and receive a tailored package of training before joining a team, where you will continue to receive on the job training in our processes and GIS systems and bespoke software, enabling you to contribute to the production and maintenance of navigational and geospatial products and services.

***Responsibilities**

Following introductory training, you will be deployed into a team of approximately 10 - 12 staff of differing levels of experience and will be mentored on the job. GIS and other bespoke software and databases are used in all roles, so you will receive hands-on, practical experience.

Day-to-day activities may include database management, using GIS based production systems to complete rules-based editing of UKHO geo-spatial products, data sourcing, data capture and distribution and quality checking. Other tasks may include managing and maintaining records, archival research and job preparation.

**Person specification**:
Please note that we will only score against the sift and interview criteria and not the essential and desirable information below.

Year in Industry placements are an excellent way of building your technical and “workplace” skills and experience. If you have a real interest in working with marine/geospatial information and delivering products and services for customers, whilst building practical experience of using GIS software packages and other bespoke systems, then this could be the right placement opportunity for you.

If you are a team player, with great attention to detail and the ability to work to deadlines, then we would love to hear from you.

**Things you need to know**

**SC - non reserved**
This is a Ministry of Defence non-reserved post and although open to UK, British Commonwealth and European Economic Area nationals, successful applicants will require a security clearance (SC) and therefore need to have resided in the UK for a minimum of 12 consecutive months within the last 5 years.

**Qualifications**:
