- Demonstrated communication and engagement skills;
- Demonstrated behaviour to add value to ADF and Australian Public Service (APS) outcomes by connecting Defence and the national security sector with highly skilled Bureau technical staff;
- Demonstrated knowledge of Defence capability and the Defence capability planning process;
- An ability to develop a knowledge of meteorology and how the Bureau produces products to support its customers; and
- The occupant of this position will also make contributions to a broad range of management and other enterprise-wide activities within the Bureau.
