Flood Warning Specialist
2 weeks ago
The Bureau of Meteorology has undertaken significant steps to deliver a more customer-focused, integrated and resilient national operation. As part of this effort, the Community Services Group (CSG) is comprised of Environmental Prediction Services (EPS), Decision Support Services (DSS) and National Production Services (NPS). Operating with a national capability, EPS has been configured into four predictive service units: Severe Weather, Marine and Antarctic, Water, and Climate.
Within EPS Water, different 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. Responsibilities of EPS Water include leading the Bureau's rostered National Water Operations Team (NWOT) delivering flood and 7-day streamflow forecasting services, 365 days a year, adopting a national risk-based approach; applying best practice approaches in water forecasting and enhancing expertise in geospatial capabilities and water.
The primary responsibility of this role is focused on year-round operational flood forecasting and warning as part of a planned National Water Operations Team (NWOT) roster. This roster will be extended to provide 24/7 coverage as required during enhanced flood operations. Outside of NWOT duties, this role will lead projects that drive continuous improvement of flood warning services, water forecasting or water data related services aligned with a key national capability area.
This may include the development and improvement of flood forecasting systems, forecasting techniques, processes, training and documentation that support the national Flood Warning Service or the Flood Warning network. There will be an expectation that suitable candidates will be able to work across a number of the teams in EPS Water to develop operational resilience and to ensure diversity of work.
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 as 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.
