Area Planner / Project Manager

THE JOB

You will be leading and managing forestry planning and cutting permit development with our team of forest professionals and providing leadership and mentorship to help develop junior team members. You will also be provided with opportunities to grow and diversify your career into other fields of natural resource management.

This engaging and exciting position is predominantly office-based, but some fieldwork will be necessary (e.g. to provide mentorship). The job 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.
