Summary
In Defence Intelligence (DI) our people solve problems, create understanding and give perspective to the diverse and complex Defence threats and challenges in a rapidly changing world. Together our civilians and military personnel inform decision making in Defence, manage complex finance programmes and develop new technology.
In DI we believe your unique experiences, view and understanding of the world could provide a vital perspective and contribution to our work. We recognise that great minds do not think alike and are striving to increase our diversity representation at all levels. As an equal opportunities employer we hire, train and promote people based on merit and inspire to create an inclusive workplace free of discrimination. We also offer flexible working arrangements such as flexi-time, job share and compressed hours.
GAB’s prime role is providing end to end technical support to legacy and future workflows and databases on systems based in DGC at MOD Feltham and RAF Wyton, focusing on the users of mono and stereo imagery performing data capture, manipulation and output for all products, alongside data storage, curation and provision. 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.
The successful candidate will be required to have or develop an in-depth understanding of vector data production workflows at various scales, vector data models and schemas and coproduction data production.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
Maintenance of vector production workflows on DGC’s ‘live’ production systems.
Development of new vector data production workflows for DGC’s ‘in-development’ production system ensuring that DGC workflows are updated based on the latest technological developments and software.
Ad-hoc technical support to DGC vector production teams.
Development of new Quality Assurance (QA) and/or Geospatial tools using Python.
Development of new and enhance/modify existing capabilities/functionality to meet evolving requirements and address software discrepancies.
Act as Subject Matter Expertise (SME) for current and future geospatial deliveries.
Regular travel to MOD Feltham will be required.
For external candidates this role will be based at RAF Wyton.
For candidates who are currently employed at MOD Feltham, the role could be located temporarily at Feltham before permanently relocating to RAF Wyton in line with the scheduled site closure. MOD Feltham based staff may be eligible for a relocation package when the post relocates to RAF Wyton subject to MOD policy. This role will be permanently based at RAF Wyton from Autumn 2025. Should the successful candidate take up at the appointment at RAF Wyton, there will also be a requirement for detached duty between sites until the permanent closure of MOD Feltham.
