Junior Geospatial Specialist

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.
