We seek a talented and motivated individual with well-rounded engineering skills biased toward the meteorological and oceanographic telemetry disciplines to join the Sea Level Network team.

As a Network Specialist, you will provide expert technical advice and guidance, and play a vital role building, testing and delivering the Bureau's coastal sea level and tsunami monitoring assets, including deep ocean buoys, that provide the foundation observations to support decision making relating to tsunamis, tides, coastal weather and sea level variability.

The successful applicant will work with limited guidance, demonstrate good judgement, produce consistent high-quality work in a cooperative and flexible team environment, and liaise closely with scientific and technical representatives to sustain high performing Sea Level Network assets and information outputs to a range of internal and external stakeholders.

Working at sea is a necessary part of the role, therefore, Certificate of Safety Training (COST) and Remote First Aid qualifications and fitness for duty at sea must be maintained. Duty at sea is typically 10 days of a 3-week field work period, undertaken twice per annum.
