OneFortyOne Plantations is well recognised as a leading forest grower in Australia. A progressive company, we combine transformative leadership with deep forestry expertise to build on the success of the oldest softwood plantation resource in Australia and the largest in the Green Triangle Region.
OneFortyOne’s purpose is to build a dynamic industry in and around our forests. We recently announced our intention to vertically integrate through the proposed acquisition of the region’s largest timber mill. Operationally we recently partnered with Trimble Forestry to implement a new centralised dispatch system commencing 1st January 2018 and have engaged with Remsoft to build Crew Scheduler, the latest software in operational optimisation. Our contractors are progressive and we work closely with them to bring the benefits of partnerships and technological best practice.
We are offering an exciting opportunity for a talented and experienced Harvesting Forester to join us.

The successful candidate will have experience in harvesting activities and associated technology and be willing to form strong working relationships with colleagues and stakeholders. You will be able to work autonomously and collaboratively within a small team. You will need to have an appropriate qualification or comparative industry experience along with effective communication and time management skills.
The role is based in Mt Gambier, the second largest city in South Australia, located halfway between Melbourne and Adelaide near the Victorian border and in the heart of the Limestone Coast. Offering the major services and facilities that are provided in a capital city, but with a relaxed and friendly rural community lifestyle.
