Issued on the 18th of September, 2026

The very first forecast I created for a customer was a TAF for Almaty, Kazakhstan. I didn't verify the results but I'm pretty sure it was a terrible forecast. I didn't know anything about forecasting near the mountains (I went to university in the wheat fields in Kansas). The rest of the two years in that role I learned how to forecast better, how to write a TAF in 15 minutes for a cross Atlantic flight, and I learned that I didn't want to do that type of forecasting for the rest of my career. So I didn't.

I moved away from all my family and friends to Chicago and United Airlines. I will never forget the experiencing of leaving 90 F / 32 C and humid in January in Texas and arriving in Chicago to 0 F / -18 C, snow on the ground and freezing cold. The Chicago Bears (NFL team) were in the Super Bowl, but it was so cold, I sat bundled up in a blanket and ate a whole Giardanos deep dish on my own. (For non-Chicagoans, imagine a pizza that is like a pie, but is close to 2 in / 5 cm deep.

My career has been anything but normal. I've moved a lot. In a two year period I moved, driving a U-haul truck, from Chicago to St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada to Grand Forks, North Dakota to Salt Lake City, Utah. A distance of 6,744 miles or 10,853 kilometers, including a 5-hour ferry ride to/from Newfoundland. I changed jobs a lot because I was trying to figure out what I could do as a meteorologist and what I wanted to do.

This is why I created My Met Job, so you wouldn't have to go through this experience just to figure out what you want to be as a meteorologist.

Title: Senior Customer Support Manager - Weather Focused

Company: Technosylva

Work Location: Remote

Pay: Not Given

Benefits: See Job Listing

Degree:

• Degree or diploma in Meteorology, Atmospheric Science, Environmental Science with a meteorology focus, or a related discipline.

Years of Experience:

• Experience working in or with industries related to wildlands fire, wildfire risk mitigation, forestry, meteorology, atmospheric sciences or related fields— either as a practitioner or in a customer-facing technology role.

Key Skills or Knowledge: (You should be able to do these duties)

• As a meteorologist, fire weather forecaster, atmospheric scientist, or operational weather professional you should have experience translating complex weather and fire scientific information into actionable insights that can be used to make operational decisions and then communicate this information to other people with varying levels of weather or wildfire knowledge. - The definition of an operational meteorologist applied to wildfires.
• Deep experience in managing complex client relationships, particularly in SaaS, technology-driven, or operationally complex environments. - If you've worked as a manager, especially in a company using a platform or website customers log in to get weather information.
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to manage and influence senior-level customer stakeholders, including agency leadership, operations commanders, utility executives, and technical weather professionals. - As the leader, you take over when needed to direct a forecast, to communicate the forecast situation and possible next steps to stakeholders and other high-level personnel.
• Strong understanding of fire agency operations, incident command structures, fire weather forecasting, or meteorological workflows, with the ability to engage credibly with both operational and technical stakeholders. - There is a specific structure used in emergency management situations and especially in wildfires. There are classes you can take to be certified in this structure.
• Advanced technical aptitude with a strong ability to grasp and articulate complex technological solutions in the context of fire, weather, and risk management. - You should be able to connect the dots regarding the software, possibly the AI, and how that can benefit the user or customer.

Preferred Skills (Move your resume to the top of the pile)

• Direct experience working within a fire agency, forestry service, emergency management body, national weather service, or operational meteorology environment — either as a forecaster, fire weather meteorologist, or in a technology or analytical support role.
• Background in SaaS-based risk management, geospatial analytics, emergency response technology, or weather forecasting platforms is a strong plus. - Have you worked for a startup selling their platform and the data it provides, doesn't matter if it is fire related or not?
• Familiarity with incident command systems (ICS), public safety power shutoff (PSPS) protocols, fire weather forecasting operations, or National Weather Service (NWS) products and services.

About the Company

As someone with some wildfire knowledge I have interviewed with at least 7 electric utilities over the last two years and while there were many common themes, the one name that came up repeatedly was Technosylva and have you used their software. I believe there is a strong chance they have a big edge in the wildfire AI software space. These utilities are using any and all tech they have because the cost of a wildfire goes far beyond just the Billion dollar price tag.

Who Should Apply?

As a baseline you should have a background in wildfire meteorology, even if you were never in charge and just made forecasts without talking to anyone. The dynamics of a wildfire should already be built-in to your knowledge bank and all you would need is a quick refresh. That may get you in the door, but it would be super helpful if you both know what SaaS is and have work in a management or customer-facing role, even if the customer was essentially your coworkers on a day-to-day basis. To really excel, you should have experience that can be use to connect your background to the job qualifications and this is something you can convey in an interview. This job is about communicating fire weather information to customers and in the interview this should come across very strongly that you know what you are talking about.

If you are interested in wildfire meteorology, but don't have any experience, you probably are not going to be selected

About the Location

The job says remote, but it says remote Denver, Colorado. This could be to work with one of their customers, Xcel Energy, which is based in Denver or it could be that they have an office, but you can still work remote. There is a possibility you need to live in Colorado, but would never really need to go into the office. I listed this a remote, but it is always worth contacting the company directly to find out.

Title: Forecaster

Company: StormGeo

Work Location: Aberdeen, Scotland or remote UK

Pay: Not given

Degree:

• B. S. in an Earth or Physical Science, Computer Science, IT or Mathematic related fields

Years of Experience:

• 0-3 years experience

Key Skills or Knowledge: (You should be able to do these duties)

• Forecasting experience, preferably in marine, renewable energy, or aviation forecasting.
• Strong communication skills with fluency in both written and spoken English.
• Ability to work on a shift rotation, including nights, weekends, and public holidays.
• Systematic, structured, and proactive approach to work.

Who Should Apply?

I decided to put this in marine because StormGeo is a major player in the marine meteorology sector and this job will likely involve marine forecasting along with many other industries. I could also list this in general operations meteorologist. The job is in Aberdeen, Scotland which means you should enjoy wet conditions as it rains a lot and with El Niño that looks like the case this Winter. Longer nights set in quickly and it remains dark longer into the start of Spring, but I know several people including my spouse and another close friend that both lived in Scotland and loved it. It may help if you have a UK permit to work, but the listing doesn't say anything about this and because StormGeo is global they may be able to work around this. Thankfully the dreaded midges I've heard about are not usually as bad in Aberdeen.

The job reads as entry-level but requires forecasting across multiple industries including many cross-over forecasts between building or performing maintenance on offshore wind turbines which requires a forecast of general weather conditions and also sea-state conditions. You could do a forecast for fixed or floating drilling operations, and based on which it is, require a knowledge of wind waves and swells, winds, and any precipitation. Aviation could include the helicopters they fly out to the oil platforms to transport crews. Plus you could be forecasting well beyond Scotland and the North Sea as StormGeo is a global company.

You should apply if you are early in your career or just starting out and not sure what industry you want to work in while having the option to learn several fields that you can then focus on within this company or elsewhere.

Title: General Forecaster

Company: Center Weather Services Unit (US Fed Gov't job)

Work Location: San Francisco (area), Denver (area), Dallas, Albuquerque

Pay: $90,000 - $145,000

Shift: Nights or Days

Closing Date: 23rd Sept 2026

Degree:

• Bachelor's degree in Meteorology, Atmospheric Science, Climate Science, Environmental Science, Physics, or a related field.

Years of Experience:

• Experienced, not entry-level

Key Skills or Knowledge: (This is my list)

• Demonstrated expertise in aviation meteorology and a deep understanding of its applications to flight operations.
• You should be able to read and write a TAF, read METARS, SIGMETS, and AIRMETS. -Even if you don't have to write a TAF (the NWS does this through a strange agreement), you should understand how they are created.
• You should understand how to forecast different types of turbulence at different altitudes and locations. -Turbulence in Denver is different than San Francisco and Dallas.
• Understanding of aviation icing risks.
• Ability to assess the convective state and the risk of additional development or weakening.- There used to be this product called the CCFP where the airline meteorologists "collaborate" with the CWSU to create a 2, 4, and 6-hour convective outlook from the current time. This helps the FAA plan where routes may be affected by thunderstorms.
• Proficiency in the use of meteorological software and tools, such as weather models, radar, and satellite imagery.
• Exceptional communication skills, including the ability to convey complex technical information in a clear and concise manner to a range of audiences. - Similar to the airline meteorologists, the CWSU meteorologist is called upon to get on a every 2-hour planning call. This call has all the airline air traffic control personnel, the control tower, TRACON, and other aviation centers (the CWSU works within the center). You then get on this call and state your case in really simple, but in a persuasive and effective form. The FAA moderator can then ask you further questions or anyone on the call could. I had to go head-to-head with the San Francisco CWSU all the time about stratus burn time and sometimes on slantwise visibility.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment with tight deadlines. - At any time, you can be asked a question. Not sure if this is the same for the CWSUs, but I just got used to the FAA calling me out of the blue, putting my on a conference call and then asking questions. I could have been focused on Chicago and then they ask about fog in New York City.
• Knowledge of aviation regulations and safety procedures. - In San Francisco at SFO, they used to have this operation called SOIA or something like that, and they could land staggered approaches on their parallel runways if the ceilings were 2100 feet AGL and the tower had visuals of the airplane at the San Mateo bridge. Very specific criteria to monitor and the result if they were not met were many flights were issued delays.
• Flexibility and availability to work non-traditional hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.

Who Should Apply?

This is my experience from the outside looking in regarding the CWSU meteorologists. As an aviation meteorologist at United Airlines is was my job to persuade the FAA to use my TAF over the NWS and my ideas on the weather picture over the CWSU. You can go to the USA Jobs site and look for more, but my experience is the government's description of what you do is lacking.

It used to be that for some reason, the NWS writes the TAFs for airport forecasts and the CWSU does everything else. It seems smarter to me that the CWSU would write the TAF, but I'm not in charge, so it doesn't matter what I think.

This type of job I found to be very exciting while challenging within the airline so I'm not sure if this extends to the CWSU, but this is a unique group within the government and why I decided to list it.

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Meteorology, Atmospheric Science, or a closely related physical science discipline.

Experience:

• 10+ years of experience, including 5+ years communicating weather to the public and proven experience leading cross-function teams, while making difficult decisions in a timely manner.

Key Skills or Knowledge: (You should be able to do these duties)

• Expert level understanding meteorological phenomena for all seasons
• Thorough comprehension of numerical models - Can you analyze forecast models and make sense of them, and not just the ECMWF
• Monitors and comprehends the latest peer-reviewed weather and climate studies - Do you keep up with the latest information and work to improve your knowledge and skills by reading white papers and performing research?

• Knowledge of social media and its role in the information and content gathering process
• Ability to manage multiple projects, involving cross-functional teams, in an efficient manner
• Exhibits creative problem solving skills and unique resourcefulness in order to complete tasks

Who Should Apply?

Many people with this level of experience grew up watching The Weather Channel or looking at it on the Internet. It is television, but this job is to be in charge of the meteorology behind the television production and make sure that is being said on-air is what should be said and is correct. It sounds like you may need to also be assessing the weather and making sure the right stories are making the broadcasts. This is a really cool sounding job.

If you are comfortable making decisions and calls about meteorology in front of many other meteorologists, including some really smart people, then you might like this sort of role. You should have experience across the US and not just in one area, and be able to keep tabs on pretty much everything all the time. This job says right on the post that it is not a 9 to 5 job, but instead a 24/7 job meaning you need to know what's going on all the time and you may have to go in overnight in certain situations.

Title: Senior Emergency Planning Program Manager

Company: National Grid

Work Location: Northboro, MA (Boston area)

Pay: $76,709.00 - $115,064.00 Annually

Degree:

• Bachelor’s degree in Emergency Management or related field - Might be able to get around this with a meteorology degree and experience.

Years of Experience:

• 2-3+ years

Key Skills or Knowledge: (You should be able to do these duties)

• Ability to understand the theory behind emergency management policies and processes and demonstrate the ability to challenge existing processes and ways of working.
• Experience with leading cross-functional teams managing multiple and complex activities associated with program/project work.

• Must be able to travel overnight outside the normal work area.
• Valid driver’s license required with acceptable driving record that meets National Grid’s Safe Driver Policy.

Who Should Apply?

This is an energy leaning job and so you should have that sort of background or be solid in the emergency management skillset. This is one of those jobs where meteorology is not mentioned at all, and it's not because it's not useful to have, it's probably more likely that this job involves a lot of non-weather emergencies and most candidates are not going to come from a meteorology background. If you've ever worked around the emergency management associated with a chemical plant or maybe as a civilian or in the military around laboratories and potential toxic elements or waste, or even in actual power plants including nuclear, then this might be something you are good at.

My very first salary job after college was with a company that went into chemical plants and refineries to test emissions coming out of the stack. I could have followed that job to a career in air quality or in emergency management, based on the number of times we had to evacuate the facilities to some sort of gas leaking.

Final Thoughts

One thing I've learned through my 20-year meteorology career is that a job in aviation can be one of the most useful types of work to start with because it requires knowledge of the surface all the way up to the jet stream and everything in between and from A to B over great distances.

If you can write a TAF this means you can forecast cloud layers. If you can forecast cloud layers you understand the boundary layer which if you understand the boundary layer you can predict inversions which means you can forecast poor air quality days. If you can forecast conditions in the boundary layer including inversions then you can make wind and solar power forecasts. While marine meteorology includes a significant level of knowledge of the ocean, you must also understand how the low level atmosphere affects the sea state.

To forecast for airports and flights over and around mountains you have to understand how air flows around the mountains and air rises and sinks, and you can apply this knowledge to road forecasts for snow in the mountains. If you can diagram how wind flows in and around the mountains then you can predict how wildfires may behave based on wind direction. You can also use this to develop snowpack forecasts for the mountains which you can then use in part to create hydropower forecasts. To complete the hydropower forecast, you have to learn about teleconnections and long-term forecasting, which you can then use to make natural gas forecasts, risk forecasts for insurance and agriculture growing season forecasts.

You can use all of these skills to understand, analyze and predict extreme weather which can be used an emergency management an climate resilience roles. You can also use all of these skills as a forensic meteorologist, professor, or high school teacher.

Through your career, your skills will build on each other and can be applied to other fields. So when you think you are not qualified for a job, just remember that while you may not have the specific skills of that one job, you know enough to get the job and learn the skills you don't know.

Good luck on the job search!
