Manager Hazard Preparedness and Response, National

3 days ago

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Bureau of Meteorology Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

The Bureau is Australia's weather, climate, water, oceans and space weather agency. Our work touches the lives of all Australians every day. Our products and services include observations, forecasts, warnings, analysis and advice. They cover Australia's atmosphere, water, oceans and space environments.

Manager Hazard Preparedness and Response (HPR) National is a role within the Decision Support Services (DSS) Program, under the Community Services Group (CSG), reporting to the General Manager DSS.

DSS supports decision making of the Emergency Management (EM) sector and the Australian community through the interpretation of the Bureaus' climate services, forecasts, warnings and outlooks, and through the analysis of customer needs to inform the future development of our products and services. This is done through the provision of briefings and advice to media and EM sector agencies and through targeted engagement with our customers in the sector.

The Manager HPR National is the Bureau's lead for the EM sector, and manages a section focussed on understanding and meeting EM sector customer needs. Within the section there are three teams:

  • A team focused on understanding and articulating the priority needs of the EM sector, through customer intelligence documented by all teams within the Program, and through managing the external committees landscape, including providing secretariat functions for the national Hazard Services Forum (HSF).
  • A team focused on understanding EM and community sector user interactions with Bureau products and services, the behaviours prompted by those products and how this should inform product and service design for highest product impact.
  • An operational team, providing 7-day a week operational decision support and other services to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) National Situation Room (NSR).

The role is ongoing and located in Canberra, though Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, or Hobart will be considered. Further information about the position, including eligibility, selection criteria, and details on how to apply, is available on the Bureau of Meteorology's website Careers page.
