  Traralgon, Victoria, Australia

Pinetech Pacific is an inventory contracting company working throughout Australia and New Zealand (www.pinetechpacific.com). We currently have Field Assistant and Forest Technician positions available in Traralgon (VIC), Launceston (TAS) and Rotorua (NZ).

You will be working with young, energetic and quality conscious staff collecting data in planted forests for harvest planning and valuations. Working in two person crews, technicians measure forest parameters including stem diameters and heights, log qualities, stocking, survival, trials, residue volumes, etc.

Forestry can be a tough and challenging occupation. We work over all types of terrain and in almost all weather conditions, so being fit and enjoying working in the outdoors is important. To be successful in this position the following attributes are essential:

  • a desire to produce high quality work
  • fit for forestry work
  • ability to consistently achieve production targets, often in adverse conditions
  • able to pass regular drug tests
  • willingness to travel and stay away from home from time to time

Forest inventory experience may be an advantage but is not necessary. Attitude is everything. Full in-house training is provided.

Base salary range $41,000 - $50,000 plus generous profit share incentives.
