Based on your experience and the needs of our business when you join, you may focus more in some of the following areas than others, or you may proceed directly to study for your qualifications. Either way you will build the experience and skills to deliver across these areas after you qualify. Weather Observations & Analysis: Real time analysis of the local sky weather and environmental conditions, conveying technical data to your team, contributing to the production of weather-based products for a range of customers.

Join the Met Office as a Foundation Operational Meteorologist within the Mobile Meteorological Unit (MMU). Kickstart your meteorology career with a global leader in weather, climate science and services! We have opportunities for you to join the Mobile Meteorological Unit (MMU). We are a Sponsored Reserve unit within the RAF which is run by the Met Office and provides meteorological and environmental advice to the UK's armed forces on operations and exercises across the world. This role offers a pathway to qualification as an Operational Meteorlogist combining meaningful 'hands-on' experience with training and development. As a Mobile Met Unit Operational Meteorologist, you will split your time between working on deployed operations and exercises as a member of the UK's armed forces and civilian work for the Met Office within the Operation Meteorology profession. You will start your journey training to become an Operational Meteorologist alongside our other foundation meteorologists. Once qualified, you will begin your military training, starting with Officer and Aircrew selection, then completing basic recruit and reserve officer training before passing out as a fully qualified reserve officer from RAF Cranwell. Having completed your military training, in your military role, you will provide meteorological and environmental advice to the UK's armed forces during operations and exercises around the world. This means analysing the weather and other physical conditions to understand the threats and opportunities and influencing decision makers to make the best of the situation. In your civilian role, you will work within the Operational Meteorology profession delivering meteorological and environmental services to a broad range of customers e.g. in Defence, Aviation and Marine sectors. Our opportunity is full time, 37 hours per week, starting in August 2025 and you will be deployed to various Met Office sites across the UK and abroad.

We help individuals, industries and government to make better decisions to stay safe and thrive. This is the Met Office. This is who we are. We're a force for good - focusing on our environmental and social impact We're experts by nature - always learning and developing to do things better We live and breathe it - putting our purpose at the heart of decision-making We're better together - understanding partnerships and inclusivity make us greater We keep evolving - pushing boundaries to make tomorrow better for our customers What You'll Do Your role will be dependent on the pathway you take. Based on your experience and the needs of our business when you join, you may focus more in some of the following areas than others, or you may proceed directly to study for your qualifications. Either way you will build the experience and skills to deliver across these areas after you qualify. Weather Observations & Analysis: Real time analysis of the local sky weather and environmental conditions, conveying technical data to your team, contributing to the production of weather-based products for a range of customers. Production of Forecast: Using predictive model data to build weather forecasts, delivering a range of products that allow customers to make safety-critical decisions. Customer Engagement: You will actively partner with defence, aviation, or media customers, responding to queries and engaging with the Met Office team if required. Building and maintaining working relationships through provision of meteorological advice and developing an understanding of how this adds value to our customers. Business Support: As a core part of your team, you will contribute to day-to-day office operations. Maintain local knowledge management (how and why we carry out tasks) such as updating guidance and communicating changes to the wider team. Network: Make an impact to the wider network (of bases and offices including our headquarters in Exeter) by collaborating with colleagues across the organisation, sharing knowledge and building strong working relationships. Project Work: Contribute to business-critical Met Office wide projects such as key change initiatives, events, software testbeds or the creation of educational materials. Self-Development: Create and be responsible for a personal development plan ensuring that you understand the wider organisation, our products and services and keep learning throughout your career. Essential CriteriaA degree in meteorology, a physical science, mathematics or engineering (at 2:2 or higher) or experience as an Operational Meteorologist demonstrating we are experts by nature. Whilst this is the list of what we need, key to success in this role will be a genuine interest for what we do. That could be the weather, our customers or service delivery and the drive to use that interest to work as part of a team.Excellent communication skills and fluency in both spoken and written English; this is important as you will need to communicate in a technical and public-facing capacity. Ability to problem-solve and make decisions, at times independently and under pressure. Resilient, self-motivated, curious and team-orientated, demonstrating that we are better together. These skills will ensure you succeed in the role and the challenges it provides, be it working overnight or remotely, in a changing environment or meeting tight deadlines. An adaptable mindset with a positive approach to change is necessary to be agile in the way you work and demonstrate that we keep evolving. Contributing to your team will also require a can-do attitude to do the less exciting but necessary important jobs that keep our services running - but, if we ask you to run a report or update a contact list, we will ensure you know why we've asked you to complete that task and we encourage you to challenge us where you can think of a better way of working. The requirement for a full UK driving licence is highly desirable and sometimes essential depending on location. Travel to some locations can be difficult without a vehicle. The ability to show leadership qualities and lead small teams. This is important for a role within the Mobile Met Unit (MMU). Am I eligible to apply?
