ECMWF carries out scientific and technical research directed to the improvement of its forecasts, collects and processes large amounts of observations, and manages a long-term archive of meteorological data. Satellite and in situ observations provide the information for up-to-date global analyses and climate reanalyses of the atmosphere, ocean and land surface.</p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"> </p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">For more details regarding ECMWF, see <a href="http://www.ecmwf.int/" data-mce-href="http://www.ecmwf.int/"><strong>www.ecmwf.int/</strong></a>.</p><h1 style="margin-left: 17.85pt; text-indent: -17.85pt;" data-mce-style="margin-left: 17.85pt; text-indent: -17.85pt;">3.<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';" data-mce-style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span>Summary of the role</h1><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">ECMWF is moving its Data Centre to Bologna (Italy) in 2019. In preparation, ECMWF is looking to recruit two engineers who will make up its on-site engineering team in Bologna.
