We are seeking adventurous and suitably qualified people for 12-15 months in a remote posting to Antarctica and Macquarie Island, supporting the Bureau's Surface, and Upper Air Observations programs.

The Bureau's National Observing Operations section maintains a year-round presence at Casey, Davis, Mawson stations and Macquarie Island, with our staff embedded within the Australian Antarctic Program's expeditioner community.
Our work focuses on the provision of raw, high quality meteorological data used in a variety of ways worldwide, including for the production of weather forecasting products and long-term climate research.

Our remote staff undertake manual weather observations and weather balloon releases, and also use real-time data generated by automatic weather stations. In addition, our technicians maintain all of the meteorological instrumentation at their respective station ensuring seamless service performance.
