The UKHO receives large but fluctuating quantities of bathymetric data throughout the year. It is important that the quality of this data is verified before it is incorporated into Caris BathyDataBASE and passed to the charting areas. Being mindful of timescales and the different pressures of both internal and external demands, the post holder is required to be capable of skilled verification and peer review of data prior to entry into the bathymetric database and to provide advice on all aspects of survey processing matters.

As a Senior Hydrographic Specialist, your primary remit will be the verification of all bathymetric data received by the UKHO. Depending on the business need you will also have the opportunity to support the Royal Navy and the UKHO’s Data Acquisition Team by undertaking, leading, or assisting in the client representation of UKHO commissioned and contracted surveys, as well as providing consultancy and training to external organisations and UKHO visitors.

UKHO is a great place in which to explore your career potential. While our projects are career-defining, the work/life balance that we can offer you is equally exceptional. From flexitime, flexible working, an award-winning office environment and a generous annual leave allowance of 34.5 days including public holidays, the opportunities open to you here are hard to beat.

UKHO currently have four vacancies for a Senior Hydrographic Specialist at UKHO. Two of these four roles will be working in defence, so are reserved for UK Nationals only. The other two roles are open to candidates from the UK, EU, EEA, Turkey, Switzerland and the Commonwealth. When you click “apply now” you will be taken to all of our current vacancies so you can choose if you would like to apply for our reserved roles (Senior Hydrographic Specialist Defence), our non-reserved roles (Senior Hydrographic Specialist) or for both.

Closing date: 11:55 pm on 4 August 2021.
