The Bureau of Meteorology has been undergoing a significant transformation to deliver a more customer centric, unified, and resilient national operations. This is an exciting strategic direction for the Bureau which is transforming the way we deliver services to Australian communities.
The new operating model for the Bureau has opened new career pathways and enhanced our culture to empower our people to learn and grow. As part of this transformation, we have introduced new roles that assist the Bureau in delivering world class weather products and services within the Community Services Group.
This group is comprised of Decision Support Services (DSS), Environmental Prediction Services (EPS), and National Production Services (NPS) which have been configured to enable scalable, national, and resilient services. The Decision Support Services Program leads customer engagement within the Community Services Group with an overarching mission to deliver tailored, relevant, and timely information to enable better decision making.
The Decision Support Services Program is characterised by its shared understanding of the impact that weather, water, climate, and oceans have on the decisions that Bureau customers make every day.
Operating with a national capability, the program is accountable for leading engagement with the Australian community and the emergency management sector. This is delivered by two dedicated teams: Community Engagement (CE) and Hazard Preparedness and Response (HPR).
The Tasmanian Senior Hydrologist, Hazard Preparedness and Response (HPR) reports to the Manager Hazard Preparedness and Response, Tasmania. The role will work alongside other state and territory based HPR and CE staff and connect seamlessly with national NPS, EPS and Business Solutions (BSG) teams. The successful candidate will have a unique opportunity to help grow the Bureau’s HPR capabilities in support of our emergency management partners.
You will demonstrate a curiosity and comprehensive understanding of how climate, ocean, weather, and flood impacts on the emergency management sector. You will have a deep understanding of hydrology with a complementary knowledge, or ability to develop in meteorology, oceanography, and climatology.
During extreme weather events, this team is expected to undertake extended working hours as directed.
