Australia has a unique combination of location, size and climate. The effective management of our water resources is critical to the well-being of over 20 million people, our industry, precious environmental assets and commercial infrastructure. To address the threat of future water scarcity, the Australian Government has embarked on a multi-billion dollar, rapid national water reform agenda.

As part of a package to accelerate the pace of reform, the Bureau of Meteorology has been given the responsibility to transform Australia's water information. Backed by key stakeholders, AUD$450 million and legislative powers, the water information initiative will deliver national water resource accounts and assessments through the development and maintenance of a freely accessible, integrated, water information system - the Australian Water Resources Information System (AWRIS).

To succeed we must build a world-class team of 120 highly innovative and committed professionals to help deliver our water information services around Australia.

For innovative, ambitious specialists, there has never been a more exciting or rewarding environment. The sheer scope and complexity will test even the most experienced mind and continuously challenge your thinking. You will be given every opportunity to implement your own initiatives, ideas and creative thinking. As for your career, the only limit will be your own ambition.

We want the very best and the rewards fully reflect this, including:

• Unparalleled professional challenge
• Competitive remuneration packages
• Exceptional career development
• Location is negotiable
• International/interstate relocation costs
• Visa sponsorship
