The Aviation/Defence Compliance & Technical Specialist provides leadership, governance and technical expertise to ensure the Bureau's aviation and defence meteorological infrastructure (observing technology) projects meet regulatory, safety, operational and delivery requirements. The role is accountable for end-to-end management of regulatory obligations, the coordination of complex approval processes and the integration of technical artefacts required to progress projects through governance and operational readiness milestones.
The position leads regulatory compliance pathways (including Airport Building Controller approvals, airport permits, airspace and Obstacle Limitation Surfaces assessments) and ensures projects achieve certification, safety obligations, and operational readiness. The role provides specialist technical advice, reviews engineering and design artefacts, and supports the transition of completed infrastructure to operational teams.
The role is primarily office based and responsible for the documentation obligations of the aviation and defence meteorological infrastructure projects. The role may provide targeted field support where required to ensure quality assurance, commissioning oversight, and continuity of operations.
The position works in the Infrastructure Delivery Section of Observing Systems and Operations Program (OSO) and operates in close partnership with the Aviation & Defence Installation Specialist and the Aviation & Defence Technician to ensure functional redundancy and seamless operational continuity across aviation and defence meteorological infrastructure delivery functions.
