Australia is regularly affected by severe weather events. These events are growing in frequency and severity, leading to increased impacts on the economy, infrastructure, property, and wellbeing.
To address this, the Bureau of Meteorology has undertaken significant steps to deliver a more customer focussed, integrated and resilient national operation through the Community Services Group (CSG).
CSG 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. 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: Severe Weather, Marine and Antarctic, Water, 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.
EPS Water works 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.
The Flood Met role will spend 50% of the time supporting year-round operational flood forecasting and warning as part of a planned National Water Operations Team (NWOT) roster and 50% of the time contributing to CSG's rostered rainfall intelligence capability. As such, this role will be expected to undertake shift work and extended working hours during high impact weather and floods.
Outside of rostered duties, this role will support projects that drive continuous improvement of CSG's Rainfall Intelligence capability.
To be successful in this role, you will have a solid understanding of severe weather and operational forecasting and have a good understanding of the total flood warning system. The role will require the occupant to support the Senior Met/ Flood Lead on shifts as part of a planned roster and work seamlessly with colleagues in NPS and DSS to deliver an unrivalled rainfall intelligence and water operations service. You will possess a sound ability to excel in high pressure, complex and dynamic operating environments such a during severe weather events. During periods of enhanced flood risk and severe weather events, you will be committed to supporting the Bureau and our customers outside the scope of standard working hours by undertaking shift work and extended working hours as required.
Employing personal drive and integrity, and communicating with influence, you will empower a high-performing team through promoting a positive culture of teamwork and continuous improvement.
