About the role
Ready to use your meteorological expertise where weather forecasts influence real commercial decisions? Join RWE Supply & Trading's international weather team and combine applied meteorology with data science and engineering to help our traders understand how changing weather conditions could impact global energy and commodity markets.
This is a role for someone with a genuine background in weather or meteorology who also enjoys working with data, models and technology. Your analysis will be used directly by trading teams, giving you visibility, autonomy and the opportunity to turn complex atmospheric information into practical insight.
- Evaluate and verify numerical weather prediction and forecast model outputs, identifying biases, uncertainties and changes relevant to trading decisions
- Analyse ensemble forecasts and large weather datasets using statistical and quantitative methods
- Translate complex meteorological developments into clear, timely and actionable insight for traders and market analysts
- Develop bespoke analytical tools and visualisations that improve how weather information is interpreted and communicated
- Build, maintain and optimise robust data pipelines supporting weather analysis and forecasting workflows
- Work closely with meteorologists, data specialists and trading teams to improve models, tools and analytical processes
- Explore new datasets, methods and technologies that strengthen our understanding of weather-driven market risk
Job requirements and experience
- A strong academic or professional background in meteorology, atmospheric science, weather forecasting or another directly weather-focused discipline
- Hands-on experience analysing weather forecasts or weather model outputs, with an understanding of concepts such as forecast verification, ensemble interpretation and model uncertainty
- Strong quantitative and statistical analysis skills, with experience working with large and complex weather or atmospheric datasets
- Proficiency in Python and SQL, with practical experience developing data workflows, analytical tools or pipelines
- Confident working in a collaborative team environment, sharing expertise and translating technical findings for non-specialist stakeholders
- A curious and proactive approach, taking ownership of your work and continuously looking for ways to improve forecasting and analytical processes
