The Opportunity
The precise forecasting of weather is an essential contributor to the transition of our energy systems to low carbon alternatives. Wind and solar energy output varies greatly according to local weather conditions. Temperature heavily drives our heating and cooling demands. As weather volatility increases, understanding the daily and seasonal drivers of events with probabilistic accuracy and granularity is vital for decision makers in the energy industry.
Timely and concisely delivered information to traders directly contributes to value creation. Feedback loops are tight, and stakes are high. As are the rewards.
As Meteorologist, you will have the opportunity to work with a dynamic team of seasoned professionals and gain hands-on experience in the field of energy, markets, and trading.
Outstanding performance and demonstrable value creation in the role will yield future opportunities for growth in the company.
Responsibilities
- Assist in analyzing and interpreting weather data to support energy trading decisions.

- Develop energy market knowledge, including expertise in financial trading products.
Qualifications

- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to present complex data and concepts in a clear and concise manner.
- Ability to work independently and as an effective contributor in a fast-paced, dynamic team environment.
