Sydney, Australia Australian Bureau of Meteorology Full time

APS Level 6, Ongoing
- $84,417 - $95,979 + 15.4% super
- Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney

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 is undertaking significant steps to deliver a more customer focussed, integrated and resilient national operation. This is an exciting direction for the Bureau which will change the way we deliver services to Australian communities.

The future operating model for the Bureau will create new career pathways to enhance our culture, to empower our people to learn and grow. As part of this transformation, we are introducing new roles that will assist the Bureau in delivering world class weather products and services within the newly formed Community Services Group (CSG).

This group is comprised of Environmental Prediction Services (EPS), Decision Support Services (DSS) and National Production Services (NPS) which have been configured to enable scalable, national and resilient services. The EPS program is responsible for the national monitoring, analysis and reporting of hazardous conditions. During severe weather events, EPS will be deployed into operations under the direction of NPS to deliver specialised, hazard-based advice, warning and outlook services.

Operating with a national capability, this program will establish a world class centre of scientific expertise and practice. To achieve this, EPS has been configured into four predictive service units: Water, Severe Weather, Marine and Antarctic and Climate, each of which play a key role in the value chain of the Bureau's capability to deliver a suite of valuable products and services to the Australian community.

There are three functions within EPS Water — Flood Operations, Water Forecasting and Water Information. All functions will 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.

You will display a dedicated curiosity about the impacts of the evolving weather, flood, ocean and climate landscape. During severe weather events, you will be committed to supporting the Bureau and our customers outside the scope of standard working hours. This will involve supporting flood operations and supporting the Bureau's Incident Management response. Undertaking extended working hours as directed during extreme weather events will be an integral part of the role.
