Job Opportunities in Australia

We are seeking an enthusiastic and qualified Electronics, Electrical or Instrumentation Technician or Engineer, ideally with previous field experience.

Who are you?
You have an appetite for working in remote locations, so a willingness to travel is essential.

You are a suitably qualified team player who likes to get hands-on in the field, and the prospect of seeing many parts of Australia excites you.

Who are we?
The Darwin Observing Operations Hub is one of the Bureau of Meteorology's premier technical Operations centre.

Staff based at the Darwin Observing Operations Hub travel far and wide and into remote areas, utilising 4WD's, planes, boats and helicopters to maintain service delivery within the various instrumentation networks. This includes:

• Rain Radars
• Automatic Weather Stations (AWS)
• Upper-Air monitoring systems (Sounding Balloons)
• Sea Level Monitoring Stations
• Wave and Wave height buoys
• Satellite ground reception and space weather instruments
• Flood warning/rainfall monitoring systems
• Cooperative observers, volunteer rainfall stations
• Communications, telemetry and instrumentation systems

Darwin Observing Operations Hub's immediate area of responsibility encompasses the northern NT above Alice Springs as well as northern WA extending west to Broome.

We are part of a national maintenance workforce and there is every likelihood of travel to other parts of Australia on occasion to support the other seven Hubs around the country.

We offer specialised, in-house competency-based training on all our equipment and will ensure you have the necessary tools and skills to undertake this work.

We strive to deliver exceptional customer service, as we engage with stakeholders, contractors, support staff and the Australian public.

We promote a diverse and inclusive workplace culture that prioritises the health, safety and wellbeing of all our staff.

You will report to and be mentored by a Team Lead in the Observing Operations Hub.
