Our organisation
The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) is the Australian Government's primary authority on radiation protection and nuclear safety. Our purpose is to protect the Australian people and the environment from the harmful effects of radiation, through understanding risks, best practice regulation, research, policy, services, partnerships and engaging with the community.
Section overview
The section is responsible for ARPANSA’s laboratories, field measurement capabilities and networks that are required for the measurement of radiation in people and the environment. This includes maintenance of ARPANSA’s radiation emergency response capabilities and networks and laboratories under contracts with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO).
Primary purpose of the role
In this role, you will work under limited supervision and perform a range of moderately complex tasks associated with operating and maintaining Australia’s radiation monitoring networks. These include radionuclide air monitoring and noble gas stations that form part of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) International Monitoring System (IMS), the Ultraviolet (UV) radiation network, and the Environmental Radiation Monitoring System (ERMS). You will work closely with the technical lead providing maintenance and development support for hardware and software associated with the radionuclide monitoring systems.
You will be working as part of a small team, delivering high quality and timely data to the CTBT International Data Centre (IDC) and other stakeholders.
