Forest Operations Officer

Job Description

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in the delivery of Forest Operations across South West Wales. You will take delegated responsibility for planning, managing and delivering operational work, making sound technical decisions within one or more specialist disciplines, depending on the scale and location of programmes.

You will be actively involved in harvesting and establishment disciplines, and leading the implementation and day-to-day management of work programmes. This includes contract management and site monitoring to ensure standards are met and programmes delivered.

You will also contribute to forest planning, undertaking operational planning to ensure the successful delivery of tactical work programmes. This will involve constraint management, inventory work, database management, GIS mapping and site evaluation, ensuring that plans are evidence-based, compliant and sustainable.

Driving is essential to this role as this role is partly site-based and requires regular travel across south west Wales. You must hold a full and current UK driving license.

As an organisation we support flexible working. You will be contracted to the above location and a suitable hybrid working pattern will be agreed on appointment. Any regular face to face meetings or training will be planned in advance.
