Job description

Part-Time Storm Chaser (Field Weather Coverage)

KOCO-TV is looking for a part-time Storm Chaser to join one of our many two-person severe weather chase teams. This is high-pressure, real-time work supporting on-air meteorologists during rapidly changing conditions. One team member drives. The other monitors radar, data, and communications. Precision, calm judgment, and ethical decision-making are non-negotiable.

Role Overview
Storm Chasers provide critical, ground-level reports during severe weather events. This position may serve as either the driver or the radar/data operator, depending on assignment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Safely operate a vehicle or monitor radar, weather data, and communications from the passenger seat during severe weather.
  • Capture live and recorded video using station-authorized equipment for on-air and digital platforms.
  • Report live on-air observations when directed.
  • Relay accurate, timely storm details to station meteorologists, including severity, movement, and real-time conditions from the field.
  • Monitor weather conditions before and during deployments to anticipate storm development.
  • Adhere strictly to journalistic ethics, safety protocols, and station policies at all times.

Work Schedule

  • No fixed schedule. Hours are dictated by weather conditions.
  • Availability required on short notice when severe weather is forecast.
  • Assignments are made at the direction of station meteorologists or news management.

Required Qualifications

  • Clean driving record (required for all team members).
  • Strong situational awareness and the ability to remain calm under pressure.
  • Understanding of and commitment to journalistic ethics and accuracy.
  • Ability to follow direction precisely and communicate clearly in fast-moving situations.
  • Willingness to work in all weather conditions.
