Melbourne, Australia Australian Bureau of Meteorology Full time

- $82,198 - $93,456 + 15.4% super
- Brisbane, Melbourne

Australia is regularly affected by severe weather events. These events are growing in frequency and severity, leading to increased economic impact, vulnerability and potential magnitude of harm.

To address this, the Bureau of Meteorology is undertaking significant steps to deliver a more customer focussed, integrated and resilient national operation. This is an exciting direction for the Bureau which will change the way we deliver services to Australian communities.
The future operating model for the Bureau will create new career pathways to enhance our culture, to empower our people to learn and grow. As part of this transformation, we are introducing new roles that will assist the Bureau in delivering world class weather products and services within the newly formed Community Services Group (CSG).

This group is comprised of Environmental Prediction Services (EPS), Decision Support Services (DSS) and National Production Services (NPS) which have been configured to enable scalable, national and resilient services. The EPS program is responsible for the national monitoring, analysis and reporting of hazardous conditions. During severe weather events, EPS will be deployed into operations under the direction of NPS to deliver specialised, hazard-based advice, warning and outlook services.
Operating with a national capability, this program will establish a world class centre of scientific expertise and practice. To achieve this, EPS has been configured into four predictive service units: Severe Weather, Marine and Antarctic, Water and Climate, each of which play a key role in the value chain of the Bureau's capability to deliver a suite of valuable products and services to the Australian community.

The Severe Weather Team is responsible for the daily monitoring of Thunderstorms & Heavy Rainfall, Tropical Cyclone and Fire, Heatwave & Air Quality. The team provides advice on conditions which are hazardous or may have a significant impact on the nation. Severe Weather functions as a single capability across three locations, Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne. The Tropical Cyclone team will be located in Perth and Brisbane, the Fire, Heatwave and Air Quality team in Perth and Melbourne, and the Thunderstorm and Heavy rainfall team in Brisbane and Melbourne.

Meteorologists will be asked to nominate locations they are willing to work from and what their preferred hazard is. Positions will be assigned based on a merit-ranking, organisational requirements, the person's hazard competencies, their location/s and their stated hazard preference.

The Severe Weather Meteorologists will grow and develop multiple competencies to allow for flexible support between teams during extreme weather events.
You will display a dedicated curiosity about severe weather and the impacts of the evolving weather, flood, ocean, and climate landscape. This role will report into the Team Lead of their hazard specialisation and will be expected to undertake shift work and extended working hours as directed during severe weather.
