Roles and Responsibilities

Project manage our current forest planning and operations business lines. We want to

emphasize that we would really like you to be more of a PM and Mentor than a Senior

Technician. We want you to deal with the timelines, logistics, and mentoring the crew in

the office to complete the deliverables. Field time will mostly be a mentoring role with

both new hires and mentoring Sr techs on difficult ground. Thus as it is with most PM

jobs you will be required to develop project plans, safety, timelines, budgets and

resource allocations (the regular stuff). As mentioned, a big focus of your time will be

creating, growing and mentoring your team.

We also expect that you will assist with new business development initiatives and

expansion of existing business lines. This position would suit someone with an

entrepreneurial spirit and diverse background in forest planning and operations

You will oversee projects ranging from multiphase layout and engineering to wildfire

• planning and operational supervision. We work with all the major Licensees in the area;

KLC, Atco, Interfor and BCTS. We also provide services to other MoF departments such

as Compliance and Enforcement, Rec. Sites and Trails BC, Stewardship and

Engineering. We are happy to serve local Community Forests including SIFCO, Harrop

Proctor and NACFOR (this one we manage). We have happily supported the Sinixt as

they move back into their traditional territory and we manage a small NRFL for

Yucwmenlúcwu.
