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

Who are we?
The Observing Operations Hubs are the Bureau of Meteorology's Technical Operations centres comprising of 8 Hubs, one in each capital city and Cairns.

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
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.
