Job description

Weather Forecaster 432d WG
Creech AFB, NV
DEFTEC delivers mission-critical solutions through skillfully delivered services and innovative products. We are inspired by the critical missions of our clients, and we are driven to provide the most effective solutions to execute their missions, operational challenges, and requirements. Our dedicated, experienced, and talented employees work closely with our clients to ensure the delivery of exceptional services and products.
POSITION OVERVIEW
Creech AFB is currently home to the 432d Wing (WG). The 432 WG is the Air Force's first remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) wing, providing all operations, logistics, and support aspects of MQ-9 Reaper and RQ-170 RPA training and employment through multiple squadrons. The operational and maintenance squadrons focus on Reaper and RQ-170 operations. RPAs are currently being flown by pilots and sensor operators based in the Continental United States (CONUS) to provide support to contingency operations worldwide, as well as providing MQ-9 and RQ-170 training
The objective of this requirement is to provide highly qualified and experienced flying operations support (non-personal) services for squadrons of the 432d Wing at Creech AFB, NV and its GSUs at Shaw AFB, SC, and Ellsworth AFB, SD.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:
Weather forecasting for real-time combat operations is a challenging and dynamic process. Even after the mission execution forecast is created, numerous changes are normally required because of the dynamic nature of both weather and operational conditions. Support of 24/7 combat operations require shift work, endurance and attention to detail.
  • Understand standard operational weather requirements and processes and assist Government personnel at their respective units to train personnel on the development of unique weather products that directly support operations in the units' areas of responsibility (AORs)
  • Weather Forecasters should be prepared to provide shift work in a 24/7 environment
  • Shall use proper procedures for providing weather services and oversee trainees performing the mission in support of Overseas Contingency Operations missions by providing tailored meteorological products and services for military operations

  • Shall produce and present weather analysis and forecasts for aircrews, planners, and senior leaders at assigned DoD installations via Wing Activity Report (WAR) Briefs
  • Shall provide timely, decision-cycle weather analyses, products and inputs to shape, plan, and execute combatant command operations. This task includes tracking of hazardous weather conditions such as lightning and icing in near real-time. Inputs may require use of tactical situation display (TACSIT) software in order to depict areas of hazardous weather for aircrew
  • Shall generate and present mission briefings, weather graphical products and text summaries in support of operations and training. Detailed mission execution forecasts (MEFs) will include forecast weather for takeoff, enroute, destination, and air refueling tracks for multiple locations worldwide
  • Shall brief aircrew on AOR weather at the beginning of the aircrews' flying shifts, or as required by unit requirements
  • Shall provide technical guidance to weather forecasters and follow operational guidance under high stress conditions associated with severe weather
  • Shall provide informed recommendations on demand to DoD personnel under high stress conditions associated with combat operations, severe weather and emergency situations
  • Shall oversee meteorological operations and provide technical oversight and recommend guidance to weather forecasters
  • Shall provide recommendations in order for the Government to make decisions and to select a course of action under high stress conditions associated with severe weather and emergency situations
  • Shall modify forecasts developed by other activities to provide information on exact conditions expected to be encountered by the aircraft for projected timeframe, area of operations and mission conditions
  • Shall maintain pass-down information during their work shift and relay that information to their relief in order to provide effective continuity of operations
  • Shall adjust security procedures to correct deficiencies and ensure classified information is not released to unauthorized personnel
  • Shall attend required training to maintain proficiency in all assigned duties, Meteorological Conferences (MetCon)

QUALIFICATIONS:
Required Qualifications:
  • Must possess TS/SCI Clearance (SAP/SAP Network & NATO ACCM)
  • Must be a U.S. Citizen
  • Minimum of two (2) years [three (3) years for the 732 OSS unit] of weather forecasting experience as a certified weather forecaster supporting DoD operations and high familiarity with AFW-WEBS, Mark IV-B, and Microsoft office applications
  • Possess knowledge of a full range of security principles, concepts, practices, products and services; methods for evaluating risk and vulnerability; implementing mitigating improvement; and disseminating security procedures/processes
  • Ability to develop, analyze, and evaluate security measures to ensure weather forecasting actions meet mission requirements for COMSEC, OPSEC, and COMPUSEC
  • Ability to work independently in an operational environment
  • Possess knowledge in military meteorology, project management, IT-related analyses, and communications supporting Air Force and/or Army operations
  • Possess knowledge of the Air Force Weather Knowledge Center's advanced distributed learning
  • Be proficient in Microsoft Office products, especially Word, PowerPoint, Excel Spreadsheets, and giving oral presentations. Must also be able to learn and manipulate applicable operational software introduced to the unit in a timely fashion
