We're looking for a Broadcast Graphics Industrial Placement to help us make a difference to our planet.

As our Broadcast Graphics Industrial Placement, the job may be suitable for hybrid working, which is where an employee works part of the week in the office and part of the week from home. This is a voluntary, non-contractual arrangement and the location advertised will be your contractual place of work. As an Industrial Placement, we would expect you to attend the office once a week as a minimum.

Our opportunity is full time, 37 hours per week. Our people are at the heart of what we do and we'll do our best to agree a working pattern that works for everyone.

From science to technology, from meteorology to management, and from planning to communication, our expertise helps us stand out as the authority on weather accuracy and climate prediction.

Our Industrial Placement scheme offers ambitious and capable undergraduates the opportunity to gain valuable experience working alongside diverse and highly skilled experts in their field. You'll be working on projects that really matter and will make a difference.

This role sits within our Broadcast Graphics Dev Ops team. We develop, configure and support the broadcast graphics software used by internal Met Office media services to produce weather graphics for the Met Office, as well as for a range of external media customers. You may already have seen this software in action on the Met Office website and social media channels, where it helps broadcast weather forecasts.

As part of this team, you will contribute to software that supports high‑profile, real‑world services.
