Met Office Director, Dale Destin

Local Met Services Director Dale Destin has a renewed a call for more persons to apply.

Destin explained that there is always a need for additional personnel in effort to improves the services at the met office.

“We are certainly in need of more persons to increase the staffing levels and specialties in some cases to be able to deliver on this huge project which is early warning for all,” Destin said.

The government some time ago would have made a commitment to create 12 new positions. A year later, that still has not happened.

“We are still waiting for those positions to come through. We believe they are going to come. They are going to cover various specialities. Oceanography, agrometeorology, project management, communications specialist. So, there is a need for an increase in the staffing levels and an increase in the specialities so that we are able to deliver on early warning for all and all the other responsibilities we are called upon to deliver,” Destin added.

Destin was speaking earlier this week as the world commemorated World Met Day under the theme Closing the early warning gap together”.

He was speaking on state media.
