MetService operates a range of weather-observing programmes in support of our weather forecasting activities, with more than $35M in assets deployed across New Zealand. This includes a surface observation programme of more than 200 automatic weather stations, ten weather radars, and three upper air sounding observatories. The measurement data generated from these assets are the cornerstone of our meteorological value chain.

We are seeking to engage an independent consultant with experience in running electronic field equipment maintenance programmes, to review the effectiveness of our asset management and maintenance practices for these programmes, and to provide insights as to how we can further optimize the performance of the associated assets and the teams that service them.

The successful consultant/s will undertake a review of current practices for observing network asset management against ISO-55001, ISO-15288 or similar standards.
