Your skills matter. Join the Met Police as a survey and laser scanning specialist and apply them to a new challenge.
As a Higher Computer Aided Surveyor and 3D professional, you'll join our Computer Aided Modelling Bureau (CAMB), using your abilities to help us bring offenders to account and deliver justice. If you want to help keep London safe - and use the latest geomatics tech - join us.
Computer Aided Modelling Bureau
The Computer Aided Modelling Bureau (CAMB) are part of a dedicated operational support section within the Met's Property Services department providing measured land and building information for crime scenes and operational policing. We carry out high definition 3D laser scan surveys and provide CAD drawings and detailed 3D models. We map the scene and provide precise measurements and spatial information.
The role
This is an exciting opportunity based at the heart of the Met. Your task? To provide accurate measured surveys and 3D data for police investigations. You'll be joining a small team of specialists who use their geomatics and CAD expertise to produce spatial information, digital drawings and 3D models for police operations. Together, you'll be supporting cases going to court and operational police teams seeking justice for our communities.
We're looking for a capable survey, reality capture, AEC or CAD professional with an eye for the detail, who knows how to make the best use of geomatics technology and apply best practice. People skills will be essential too - day to day you'll be working with police officers, staff and other experts to support operational policing, providing you with the scope to determine requirements, coordinate contractors and oversee a project to completion.
The role involves attending scenes and other locations using CAMB's technical response vehicles to capture and process measured survey and laser scan data. You'll be producing accurate drawings and point cloud models for analysis and presentation of scenes of crime, so you'll need to be prepared to view disturbing material and explain your work at court if required.
With a can-do attitude, bags of initiative and hands-on technical skills, you'll also be keen to explore the latest advances in 3D modelling, CAD, laser scanning and photogrammetry and help us develop innovative solutions.
Plus with your knowledge and experience of working within the built environment industry, you'll also help us manage the Met's extensive property portfolio.
Finally, you must hold a full driving licence and be confident to drive work vehicles in central London, ready to work out of hours if required, and to participate in an on-call rota.
It's your opportunity to join a unique team and use your skills to support police operations and investigations.
Besides the rewarding nature of the job itself, a competitive salary and a Civil Service pension, you'll benefit from excellent career and professional development.
