Duties
A key cultural gap in providing weather and climate information to the north will be addressed by working more closely with communities and all levels of government in Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Yukon to help share information across Inuit Nunangat. Successful collaborations require the trust and understanding of all parties. Building that trust in order to foster a collaborative environment is a key aspect to creating a better weather service for all Canadians.
Establish collaborative relationships with indigenous communities interested in defining improved weather and environmental services to northern and remote areas.
Assist Inuit communities to identify requirements for weather services based on their unique sustenance-related activities.
Represent Inuit Nunangat on a working group tasked with developing a vision and action plan for a new weather service for the north.
Liaise with ECCC Warning Preparedness Meteorologists (WPMs) and Canadian Ice Service Representatives to build a communication bridge to facilitate the identification of weather-related services and their delivery to Inuit communities.
On the job training can be provided. Development for this position will occur with a team of Client Services, Operational, and Ice Forecast Meteorologists in various cities across Canada, primarily in Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Ottawa. Broader collaboration will be available from the larger meteorological team within the Meteorological Service of Canada Branch (MSC) in order to determine the best ways to serve the North.
Work environment
Conditions of employment include working in, attending, or participating in events held outdoors in adverse weather conditions, travelling to and working in remote areas, and remaining on travel status for extended periods of time. Much of the work of collaborating at the community level requires travel within the region of responsibility. Travel will be a requirement.
Intent of the process
The intent of this process is to fill one (1) full-time position in Nunavut.

However, we are also open to various employment tenures including part-time and flexible work arrangements.

Important messages
The impacts of climate change in Northern Canada are significant and leading to rapid and sudden changes in the physical landscape and weather patterns across the region. These changes are resulting in the melting of permafrost, erosion of shorelines, and affecting hunting and fishing patterns relied upon by indigenous communities. Additionally, we are seeing weather events and warm temperatures beyond those reflected in historical and cultural experience.

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is committed to improving weather service delivery and developing a mutually beneficial understanding of weather related impacts in the North on the land and on the lives of northern communities. We recognize that our current weather services may not meet the needs of remote indigenous communities or be culturally appropriate or accessible. We need your help.

If you are interested in weather, how ECCC can better serve northern communities, and seek new and interesting challenges, an exciting career as an Inuit Indigenous Relations Advisor awaits you! Working with Environment and Climate Change Canada staff and local community members, you can play a key role in ensuring the needs of our northern communities are met in a way that respects indigenous perspectives while benefiting from modern science and technology.
