The Bureau of Meteorology is Australia's national weather, climate and
water agency. Its expertise and services assist Australians in dealing with
the harsh realities of their natural environment, including droughts,
floods, fires, storms, tsunami and tropical cyclones. Through regular
forecasts, warnings, monitoring and advice spanning the Australian region
and Antarctic territory, the Bureau provides one of the fundamental and
most widely used services of government.

The Bureau contributes to national social, economic, cultural and
environmental goals by providing observational, meteorological,
hydrological and oceanographic services and by undertaking research into
science and environment related issues in support of its operations and
services.

The Bureau’s expanded water information role is enhancing the quality and
utility of Australia’s water information by producing the National Water
Account, water resource assessments and water availability forecasting
services, supported by a national water monitoring and data collection
network. These responsibilities add to the Bureau’s existing
responsibilities for flood forecasting and warnings. The program includes
development and maintenance of an integrated, national water information
system freely accessible to the public (see www.bom.gov.au/water).

The Extended Hydrological Prediction section (EHP) has been established to
develop seasonal and long term water availability and streamflow
forecasting services. The seasonal streamflow forecasting service was
launched in December 2010 and the service provides water availability
forecasts at important locations in the Murray-Darling Basin (see
www.bom.gov.au/water/ssf). The service will be extended to areas providing
substantial inflows to major storages across Australia.

   - APS Level 6 - This position will involve participating in the design
   and provision of water information and forecasting products in the Bureau’s
   Climate and Water Division. The occupant will be involved in advanced
   hydrologic modelling tasks requiring quantitative hydrology skills for
   delivery of the water forecasting products that support seasonal and
   long-term water forecasting services of the Division. The focus of the
   position is on water information product development for the Prediction
   Systems Unit of the Extended Hydrological Prediction Section.
   - Executive Level 1 - The Model Developer and Systems Architect is an
   important member of the EHP team complementing our existing skills in
   modelling, systems development and forecasting services. The person will be
   responsible for design, develop and bring into operations hydrologic
   modelling systems and tools. This will involve writing functional and
   systems specifications, technology selection, which requires very high
   level of expertise in programming and operationalising scientific modelling
   and service delivery systems.
   - Executive Level 1 - The Web Systems and Database Developer is an
   important member of the EHP team complementing our existing skills in
   modelling, systems development and forecasting services. Our Web Systems
   and Database Developer will lead and implement web-based solutions to
   achieve the Bureau’s Water Forecasting Service goals. Underscoring the
   importance of the Bureau of Meteorology’s web presence, the organisation is
   consistently the leading government website nationally.

We are seeking experienced and motivated professionals who will enjoy
working in a close and dynamic team environment to deliver practical
environmental services and outcomes benefiting Australia.
To view the Full Job Details of these position and to obtain further
