National Production Senior Meteorologist
The Bureau of Meteorology 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 across Australia’s atmosphere, water, oceans and space environments.
Australia is regularly affected by severe weather events. To address this, the Bureau of Meteorology is delivering a more customer-focused, integrated and resilient national operation within the Community Services Group (CSG). The CSG comprises three programs: National Production Services (NPS), Environmental Prediction Services and Decision Support Services. The advertised role sits within NPS, a program with national capability to lead and coordinate forecast and warning services, delivering a 24/7 integrated capability across Melbourne and Brisbane as a nationally resilient operation.
The National Production Senior Meteorologist will report to the National Production Operations Leader. This role involves shift work and the primary outputs include leading the provision of national forecasts, warnings and guidance, situational awareness and operational response products and services.
To be successful, you will have a comprehensive understanding of the impacts of evolving weather, flood, ocean and climate landscapes. You will require a thorough understanding of meteorology with a complementary foundational knowledge (or capacity to develop) in hydrology, oceanography and climatology.
In this role you will help consolidate the Bureau's NPS capability. A people-centred leader, you will provide leadership and technical excellence to a team that continues to evolve the Bureau's national forecast processes, aligning effort towards delivering maximum impact and value for all of Australia.
