7 days ago
We are seeking enthusiastic and qualified Electronics, Electrical or Instrumentation technicians or engineers, ideally with previous field experience for the Bureau's eight Operations Hubs around the country.
APS recruitment can be a prolonged process and therefore we are implementing a talent pipeline recruitment process to create a strong merit pool to fill technical field services positions as they become available across the APS3 or APS5 levels. These may be ongoing and non-ongoing opportunities at the eight Operations Hub.
**Who are you?**
You have an appetite for working in remote locations as a willingness to travel is essential.
You are a suitably qualified team player who likes to get hands-on in the field, and the prospect of seeing many parts of Australia excites you.
**Who are we?**
The Observing Operations Hubs are the Bureau of Meteorology's premier technical operations centres.
Staff based at the Operations Hubs travel far and wide utilising 4WD's, plane's, boats, and helicopters to maintain service delivery within the various instrumentation networks. This includes:
- Rain Radars
- Automatic Weather Stations (AWS)
- Upper-Air monitoring systems (sounding balloons)
- Sea Level Monitoring Stations
- Wave Buoys
- Satellite ground reception and space weather instruments
- Wave height buoys
- Flood warning / rainfall monitoring systems
- Cooperative observers, volunteer rainfall stations
- Communications, telemetry and instrumentation systems
We are part of a national maintenance workforce and there is every likelihood of travel to other parts of Australia on occasion to support the other eight Hubs around the country.
We offer specialised, in-house competency-based training on all our equipment and will ensure you have the necessary tools and skills to undertake this work.
We strive to deliver exceptional customer service, as we engage with stakeholders, contractors, support staff and the Australian public.
We promote a diverse and inclusive workplace culture that prioritises the health, safety and wellbeing of all our staff.
You will report to and be mentored by a Team Lead within the Observing Operations Hub.

**Maintenance & Operations**: Undertake routine and detailed operational diagnostics, fault finding, repair of field equipment. Verify the performance of instruments against calibrated reference standards. Support recording and reporting observations from meteorological systems.

**Documentation & Record Keeping**: Prepare operational and technical maintenance reports and associated documentation. Undertake administrative tasks such as finance reconciliations, procurement, inventory records, stores and stock control.
**Travel & Incident Response**: Travel away from your home base by air, sea and road, will be required to support operations. On occasion you may be rostered outside of business hours to provide incident and emergency response support, with additional restricted duty allowance and over-time.
**Data Quality**: Manage Observation network data quality through remote monitoring. Diagnose and triage faults within the Observations networks as they arise.
**Liaison and Representation**: Liaise with various internal and external stakeholders at the appropriate level and represent the Bureau in a professional manner in accordance with Australian Public Service values and Code of Conduct. Support response to queries on observing assets in your area of responsibility and provision of asset information and data.
