Wyton, Huntingdon, PE28 2EA

As an important part of the Ministry of Defence, Defence Intelligence (DI) provides intelligence analysis, specialist outputs and advice that supports decision making across government. At the heart of DI is the National Centre for Geospatial Intelligence (NCGI).
 
Everything happens somewhere. NCGI produces intelligence that is referenced in time and space to help decision makers to understand, plan, navigate, and target; to understand what is going on.
 
We are the primary provider of geospatial intelligence advice and expertise, comprising imagery intelligence, geospatial analysis, geospatial services, foundation data, military mapping and, in partnership with the UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) and the Meteorological Office, assured data for safety of navigation. We are a national capability, recognisably operating alongside other national intelligence agencies and is the primary interface between the UK and international geospatial intelligence partners.
 
You may think you need to be an analyst or have an intelligence background to work for NCGI; this is not true. There is a wide range of exciting roles available. Without our highly dedicated teams of enabling staff, such as IT support, finance, security, and facilities management, our critical outputs would just not be possible. We employ many Civil Servants who play a pivotal role in Defence, nationally and internationally, and we are proud to be part of a diverse, forward thinking, broad organisation.

This position is advertised at 37 hours per week.

• Are you looking for a new challenge in geospatial analysis?
• Do you have a passion for geography, mapping, and visualising spatial information?
• Do you want to make a real difference to UK Defence?

Here at the NCGI we are looking for passionate and motivated geospatial analyst to work within the GEOINT Analysis & Development team.

Your responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

• Conduct geospatial analysis to support operational tasking for Defence Intelligence.
• Develop new capabilities and workflows to enhance and modernise team output.
• Provide professional advice on the use of geospatial data and analytic techniques.
• Manage geospatial data, tools, services, and products.
• Work collaboratively with stakeholders and partners across the intelligence community, including potential national and international travel for engagements and conferences.

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.

All jobs advertised in DI are subject to fair and open competition.

• Awareness of geospatial analysis techniques.
