This engaging and exciting, full time, permanent position provides an opportunity to coordinate and lead the fieldwork component of cutting permit development. This will be largely a field-based position but will also include office time. You will be an integral part of Westland’s forestry team and play a key role in developing junior staff by providing leadership and mentorship. You will also have opportunities to grow and diversify your career in forestry and into other fields of natural resource management.
This position is based in beautiful Terrace, BC, a fun and family-oriented community, with many local amenities and access to an abundance of arts, culture and outdoor activities including incredible fishing, skiing, mountain biking and hiking. Most of our work is local, so if you love being home every night this position would be a great fit for you.
Westland Resources provides natural resource management services to a diverse range of clientele throughout BC, and we work with these clients to manage four forest licences, two forestry licences to cut, two woodlots, a tree farm licence, and future Treaty lands. For 20+ years our services have included strategic, tactical and operational advice; research and assessments; development and permitting; operational implementation, monitoring and supervision; economic and community development; and allround problem solving. Our clients include First Nations, energy companies, forest licensees, infrastructure developers, and all levels of government.
A comprehensive benefits package (at the time of hire), profit sharing opportunities, pension allowance, coverage of professional dues, allowances for personal equipment, health and wellness and moving, work schedule flexibility (to promote work / life balance) with paid days for family commitments, and professional development and training opportunities. The salary range for this position is $32.00 – $40.00 per hour depending on qualifications and experience.
