**About the National Measurement Institute**:
The National Measurement Institute (NMI) is the Australian Government’s national authority on measurement. We play an important role in the Australian economy by leading, maintaining and regulating Australia’s measurement system. We deliver world-class measurement products, advice and client services and administer the regulatory framework for measurement. Our national measurement standards are recognised internationally and we work to enhance and maintain these standards.
We value the different skills, knowledge and perspectives our employees bring. We’re committed to giving everyone an equal opportunity to participate, contribute and progress. Our values and behaviours centre on being, Adaptable, Innovative, Accountable, Strategic, Inclusive and Influential.

- work health and safety.
The branch is made up of friendly, inclusive and dedicated people who are committed to making a difference. We come from variety of backgrounds, including project management, legal and scientific. Although the vast majority of NMI staff are highly technical, including scientists, engineers, and technical regulators, a STEM background is NOT necessary. If you have a STEM background, we’ll find ways to use it, but we encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply. In fact, we know we do our best work when a variety of perspectives are brought to the table.
We have multiple positions available at the EL1 level across the branch and are seeking experienced EL1 officers, or high performing APS6s, to contribute to busy teams within the S&O branch.

- Experience or demonstrated relevant ability to manage secretariat support for SES meetings.
- The ability to work across teams to bring together and review briefs and meeting papers supporting SES decision making.
The roles involve engagement with relevant teams across the department for example, policy, coordination, procurement and finance.
