Shell
Role Overview
Shell is seeking a Trade Floor Meteorologist to provide real‑time, actionable weather insights and forecasts in support of Shell’s ERCOT power trading desk. In this high‑impact role, you will act as a key contributor to trading decisions by delivering accurate, timely, and risk‑adjusted weather analysis—particularly around temperature extremes and renewable generation potential across Texas. Success in this role requires more than just forecasting skill—you must bring a strong commercial mindset and a clear understanding of how weather impacts energy markets. Your insights will help traders anticipate price moves, optimize positions, and identify trading opportunities, giving Shell a competitive advantage in the ERCOT market. You’ll work closely with short‑term and long‑term traders, helping them interpret weather‑driven volatility and price risks, while also contributing to broader North American trading strategies—especially during extreme or disruptive weather events. Key Responsibilities
Deliver high‑quality temperature and renewable energy forecasts for the ERCOT region, focused on trading‑relevant timeframes (intraday, day‑ahead, and seasonal). Interpret large‑scale atmospheric patterns, teleconnections, and numerical weather models to shape views on power demand and renewable supply. Communicate forecast risks, uncertainty, and potential impacts in a succinct, non‑hyped, and decision‑focused manner to traders, analysts, and commercial leaders. Track and synthesize the impact of weather developments on ERCOT power loads, wind/solar generation, and congestion risks. Contribute to the broader Shell North America meteorological strategy, including support during significant weather events (e.g., hurricanes, polar vortexes, flooding). Collaborate with commercial teams across Shell’s energy trading portfolio (natural gas, LNG, global power markets) to integrate weather intelligence into market views. Help manage Shell’s weather data budget and build strategic relationships with key weather vendors to ensure access to best‑in‑class meteorological tools and datasets. Maintain regular city‑level forecasts and renewable generation expectations across North America for broader trading teams. Qualifications
Legal authorization to work in the U.S. on a full‑time basis. Degree in Meteorology, Atmospheric Sciences, or related field; advanced degree preferred. Five or more years of relevant experience or proven track record supporting energy or commodity trading environments, preferably in power or natural gas markets. Deep understanding of ERCOT weather sensitivities, renewable generation forecasting, and Texas‑specific climate drivers. Experience with ensemble modeling, teleconnections, and renewable forecasting methodologies. Familiarity with weather data platforms and ability to extract value from third‑party weather services. Ability to operate under time‑sensitive market conditions with a calm, confident communication style. Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex meteorological concepts into impactful commercial insights. Strategic thinker, collaborative team player, and trusted advisor to commercial stakeholders. Comfortable working under pressure and in high‑stakes decision environments. Compensation and Benefits
Base salary range: $146,000 – $218,000 per year. Individual pay will be based on relevant work experience, education, certifications, skill level, seniority, and internal equity. 401(k) plan Medical, dental, and vision coverage; life insurance Business travel accident insurance and occupational accidental death benefit programs Paid leave: up to 6 weeks of vacation, 11 paid holidays, 16 weeks maternity leave, 8 weeks paternity leave Short‑term disability leave up to 26 weeks at 100% or 50% of base pay Long‑term disability insurance Reimbursement for adoption, wellness, education, and personal learning expenses; discretionary long‑term incentives for eligible roles
