This role will contribute to the production, maintenance, and quality assurance of geospatial data and cartographic outputs, supporting Defence operational and strategic requirements within a structured and governed Enterprise GIS environment.
The Foundation Geospatial Branch (FGB) is responsible for producing authoritative foundation geospatial data for Defence activities, including standardised datasets and products such as maps, imagery, elevation, and feature data essential for planning and operations. The GIS Foundation Specialist will support geospatial data production, quality assurance, and cartographic outputs, ensuring that Foundation Geospatial data remains accurate and aligned with Defence standards. The role will operate under general direction and contribute to the delivery and sustainment of enterprise geospatial capabilities.
Foundation Geospatial data underpins Defence decision-making through authoritative, standardised datasets and products, including mapping, imagery, elevation, and feature data essential for planning and operations. The successful candidate will bring practical experience in geospatial data production and quality assurance, working under general direction to deliver accurate and reliable outputs that support Foundation Geospatial capabilities.
