Sydney, Australia Australian Bureau of Meteorology Full time

APS Level 6, Ongoing
- $90,199 - $101,022 + 15.4% super
- Melbourne, Brisbane or Sydney

Australia is regularly affected by severe weather events. These events are growing in frequency and severity, leading to increased impacts on the economy, infrastructure, property, and wellbeing.

To address this, the Bureau of Meteorology has undertaken significant steps to deliver a more customer focussed, integrated and resilient national operation through the Community Services Group (CSG).

CSG 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. 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.

There are three functions within EPS Water — Flood Operations, Water Forecasting and Water Information. All functions work together in an integrated manner to ensure the Bureau continues to develop its foundational water information capabilities, and seamlessly delivers Water Services that ensure public safety, and meet our obligations under the Water Act.

To be successful in this role, you will have a good understanding of operational flood forecasting and the total flood warning system underpinned by a solid hydrology or meteorology background. The role will require the occupant to support shifts on a planned roster and work seamlessly with colleagues in NPS and DSS to deliver an unrivalled water operations service.

You will possess a sound ability to excel in high pressure, complex and dynamic operating environments such a during severe weather events. During periods of enhanced flood risk and severe weather events, you will be committed to supporting the Bureau and our customers outside the scope of standard working hours.
