GAB provide a service ensuring DGC staff have the technical capability and know-how to collect, produce, store and provide Foundation GeoINT to Defence customers and Partners delivering Requests for Information on time, every time.

Knowledge and experience of the software development life cycle is desirable. The postholders will develop new and enhance/modify existing capabilities/functionality to meet evolving requirements and address software bugs (discrepancies). There will often be a need to provide guidance, technical knowledge, and innovative solutions to such work.
The Information Management Support role will provide technical support several teams responsible for acquiring worldwide Geospatial Information (GeoINF) and ensuring that it is evaluated, managed, provisioned and preserved to meet DGC research, analysis, contingency and Request for Information (RFI) requirements, and wider MOD and Other Government Department needs.
