Canfor has what you need to build a rewarding career in forestry. Thanks to an expanded program, our Forest Management Group has a number of seasonal field operations roles available, from entry to supervisory opportunities, so all experience levels are encouraged to apply. These positions are renewable, can lead to full-time employment, and you can choose the start and end dates that suit you best. If you have a forestry background and you're not afraid of physically demanding fieldwork, we want to hear from you.
Along with assisting Forestry Supervisors, Field Operations Staff are responsible for layout and timber cruising activities, such as:
- photo interpretation and stratification

- providing data for cutting permit applications
- developing cruise plans
- operational cruising and field information mapping
- ecotyping
- identifying and managing pests

Ideally, you've completed or are currently enrolled in a forestry program, but anyone with forestry experience can apply. Our must-haves include: excellent communication skills, the ability to safely perform physically demanding fieldwork in a team environment, and a Class 5 driver's licence. We offer a competitive compensation package and the opportunity to expand your skills in a challenging and rewarding environment.
