About the Role

We are seeking a skilled Senior Systems Officer (AO6) to join our Predictions Unit.

This role is responsible for developing, maintaining and improving QFD's predictive intelligence systems and data models that inform decision-making across prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. Key responsibilities include:

To be successful in this role, you'll bring:

  • Demonstrated experience using GIS platforms and data-driven decision-support tools.

  • Strong technical capability with tools such as ArcGIS Pro, FME, Python or equivalent.

  • Experience managing and visualising large, complex datasets (e.g. weather, vegetation, or land-use).

  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate technical information for non-technical audiences.

  • Willingness to participate in on-call and operational rosters when required.

  • Relevant tertiary qualifications in Environmental Science, Data Science, Engineering or a related field.

  • Understanding of Queensland Disaster Management Arrangements or incident management systems (desirable).

  • Opportunities for professional development and technical training.

  • Flexible work arrangements and supportive workplace culture.

  • Competitive salary and attractive employment conditions.
