«Let's save the world!»
was our employee motto 2023. Yes, our ambitions are high. And of course we can't do it alone. But with our work at Meteotest, we want to contribute good solutions to urgent problems of today and tomorrow. This is part of our identity and a good reason to work at Meteotest. Entrepreneurship is also part of our DNA – after all, our company is 100% owned by ourselves: A majority of the employees are also shareholders in the company – and new employees can become one.
Solar power for the world – modeled by Meteotest.
We see ourselves as a "solution factory". Due to our breadth we can cover almost all scientific issues that arise within the atmosphere. With about 40 employees in six business units, we offer a wide range of services and products – often combining the expertise of several units. This breadth and the collaboration in ever-changing project teams make the work challenging and exciting.
