Crynodeb
The Head of Foundation GEOINT Production will have a major role in the leadership of DGC’s transformation and transition from MOD Feltham to RAF Wyton. The transformation includes the embedding of new technologies, new ways of working, and exploiting opportunities for closer integration with wider NCGI capabilities. It additionally requires the development of a regenerated specialist workforce at RAF Wyton with the knowledge, skills and experience to be best in class. In addition to the enduring core responsibilities of the role you will therefore also focus on:
Identifying and engaging on transformation opportunities as well as supporting all relocating staff in their transition to RAF Wyton.
Ensuring the appropriate transfer of knowledge and expertise to support DGC through transition and transformation.
The enduring core role responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Geospatial Production
Providing leadership and direction to your teams and being responsible for the delivery of specialist geospatial information, data and services which support critical defence activities including safety to life and operational commitments. These comprise both planned and ad-hoc tasks, including novel and discrete support to external agencies.
Geospatial Strategy, Policy, Governance and Engagement
Developing and implementing strategies for maximising the effective exploitation of specialist geospatial capabilities.
Leading technical policy development and assurance for geodesy and geomatics, and for the geospatial aspects of international and overseas internal administrative boundaries and geographical names.
Investing in the development of relationships with other NCGI and DI capabilities, Partners Across Government and international partners to fulfil the potential for data, methods and burden sharing. Supporting, and leading according to specialism, UK influence in multinational geospatial projects and international engagement, ensuring UK reputation is respected and maintained. This includes, but is not limited to, the multinational specialist groups focused on geography, geodesy, geomatics, human geography, and elevation data.
Air Safety Management
Managing and being responsible for the assurance of the DGC capabilities that support or are interdependent with the production of Aeronautical Information (AI) and related geospatial data and products used by aviation customers. This requires an understanding and promotion of Air Safety Management principles and processes, and you will be a key member of the DGC Air Safety Committee and maintain effective relationships with other teams engaged in supporting aviation safety.
Data and products used by aviation customers are subject to enhanced Quality Control and Quality Assurance, and you will be required to ensure that you and your teams complete and maintain currency on additional air safety-related training as required by the DGC Air Safety Management Plan.
Occasional travel may be required.
This role currently has 5 direct reports and 21 countersigning roles. These are expected to change as DGC transforms and relocates.
