Melbourne, Australia Australian Bureau of Meteorology Full time

APS Level 6, Ongoing
- $82,198 - $93,456 + 15.4% super
- Melbourne, Canberra

Australia is regularly affected by severe weather events. These events are growing in frequency and severity, leading to increased economic impact, vulnerability and potential magnitude of harm. To address this, the Bureau of Meteorology and the Commonwealth are undertaking significant steps to deliver improved Climate Risk services in support of improving Australia’s resilience to extreme weather and reducing the cost of natural disasters. This is an exciting direction for the Bureau which will change the way we deliver services to Australian communities.

The Environmental Prediction Services (EPS) Program has been established to provide a world class centre for access to scientific expertise, services and modelling across four predictive service teams: Marine and Antarctic, Water, Climate and Severe Weather.

EPS Climate is an integrated, multi-disciplinary team responsible for delivering operational and specialist climate and hydro-climate services for Australia and the southwest Pacific. It is also responsible for delivering climate and natural disaster risk information to the Commonwealth, States and Territories. The objectives of EPS Climate are to support strategic and tactical decisions across government and industry to improve resilience to future climate, and to ensure the Bureau delivers on commitments under the Water Act 2007.

There are three teams within EPS Climate — Operational Hydro-Climate Services, Climate Analysis and Specialist Services and Pacific Climate Services. Services across EPS Climate include the provision of multi-week and seasonal forecasts, routine climate and hydrological monitoring and situational awareness reports, and the custodianship and analysis of past, present and future climate data sets.

We are seeking a Hydrology Specialist to support operational Hydro-Climate services. Based in the Bureau’s Melbourne or Canberra Office, this position will support extended hydrological prediction, monitoring, situational awareness and reporting services. A good understanding of water resources, gridded water balance modelling and water information is important for this role. This is primarily a service delivery role coupled with a mindset of delivering the best science-based hydro-climate intelligence and information in operational timeframes.

To be successful in this role you will be highly engaged in understanding the real-world impacts of our changing weather and climate, with a desire to constantly improve and communicate the Bureau's hydro-climate services in line with the agile needs of consumers and stakeholders.
