The remit of the hydrographic team at UKHO is evolving. To support current and emerging requirements UKHO is increasing its hydrographic and bathymetric capability, presenting exciting opportunities for Senior Hydrographic Specialists.

In this key role, you will plan and oversee bathymetric surveys and take ownership of the verification of all bathymetric data (including multibeam and Lidar) received by the UKHO for use in defence specific (and wider UKHO) products and services. As a subject matter expert you will also provide consultancy and training to external organisations and UKHO visitors.

This is a highly analytical role that requires the postholder to be able to examine and verify large quantities of hydrographic data, of varying density and quality. Applicants will require practical experience of bathymetry collection along with competency in the use of a range of bathy processing and archiving software and tools. Adaptability and a willingness to undertake and potentially lead surveying in the field, or lead on development work/projects as and when the opportunity arises are also key requirements for the role.

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.
