**Job summary**:
In these roles you will be directly involved in the flowline for 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. Within these roles, and as you progress, you will develop a number of these analytical and geospatial skills:
› Geospatial Data Analysis & Manipulation

› Geospatial Data Management

› Geospatial Data Standards and Quality

› Cartography and Interactive mapping

› Geospatial Tools, Software and systems

Our teams across Operations work in different ways, depending on the ways of working of the team and customer needs. Some Teams, due to the nature of their work, require team members to attend the office in Taunton daily, whilst others can support a more hybrid work pattern. As a default this would be a balance of 3 days in the office for full time staff.

There will be introductory classroom training for these roles which will be onsite at our office in Taunton. This will be for a minimum of 2 weeks but could be up to 10 weeks depending on the team you are allocated to.

[Please note our Policy on informal hybrid working (arrangements available as agreed with the line manager) does not extend to working overseas].

**Job description**:
These roles support the acquisition, analysis and management of hydrographic and marine information and subsequent processing into navigational products and services.

Following introductory training, you will work within 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 build hands-on, practical experience.

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

As you progress through your development, and depending on your team, examples of day to day tasks are as follows:

- Interpret and assess a full range of incoming analogue and digital data against product masters, databases and services and recommend subsequent actions.
- Assess impact of complex source data on databases and update accordingly.
- Update and deconflict data in databases from new and historical sources.
- Produce ENCs as a result of changes to the database.
- Compile Submarine bathymetric ENCs.
- Maintain authoritative, feature specific master data layers.
- Produce specialist analogue and digital products in support of RN deployments.

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

If you have a real interest in building geospatial skills and experience within an Organisation that is responsible for providing all users of marine/hydrographic information with the data, products and services they need to make effective decisions, then this could be the right opportunity for you.

If you are a supportive team player, who has great attention to detail and the ability to work at pace to meet the needs of our customers worldwide, then we would love to hear from you.

**Behaviours**:
We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process:

- Working Together
