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
Yucwmenlcwu.
