Greater Adelaide SA, Australia Australian Bureau of Meteorology Full time

APS Level 6, Ongoing
- $94,563 - $105,910 + 15.4% super
- Adelaide

The Bureau of Meteorology is seeking a dedicated, highly motivated person to fill the role of Space Weather Forecaster of the Australian Space Weather Forecasting Centre (ASWFC). The ASWFC is part of the Bureau's National Security and Space Program (NSSP), within the Business Solutions Group and is the primary provider of environmental intelligence to sectors integral to Australia's national security and economic prosperity, and community safety through government partners and key industry sectors to ensure they have the right information at the right time, to deliver on their goals.

The ASWFC is Australia's authoritative source of space weather observations and forecasts, located with Australia's burgeoning space industry in the Lot Fourteen precinct in Adelaide. The ASWFC's role is to provide continuous, 24/7 monitoring of space weather events and their impacts. It issues space weather warnings and alerts to sectors crucial to Australia's national security, economic prosperity, and community safety. These alerts are disseminated through government partners and industry sectors to ensure they receive timely and accurate information, enabling them to achieve their goals effectively.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has designated global space weather centres to monitor space weather phenomena that could affect aviation. Australia is part of the ACFJ consortium (Australia, Canada, France, Japan). This service is delivered by the ASWFC with support from the Hazardous Weather Unit, under the Aviation, Land and Maritime Transport Program, for the Space Weather Overnight Watch.

The Sun is currently in the maximum phase of solar cycle 25, as such there is an increased frequency and intensity of space weather events. The Australian Space Weather Alert System has been developed to communicate space weather conditions and their possible effects on Australian industry sectors and the community. It also outlines mitigating actions that can be taken by operators and decision-makers in response to the alert thresholds.

Space Weather Forecasters will be expected to work shift work, predominantly focused during the day, with on-call responsibilities overnight and some overnight duties during significant space weather events. Some interstate travel may be required to deliver training and engage with relevant sectors and Bureau staff.

We're looking for someone with energy, enthusiasm, willingness to learn and ability to work well in a team as well as independently. You might be a recent university graduate or someone looking for a career change. Space Weather technical knowledge is desirable, but not an essential pre-requisite as completion of a Space Weather Forecaster training and competency course will be completed as part of the initial onboarding process.
