• Supervise, train, and review the work of other staff and student workers essential to the operation of the Research Forest.

• Conduct performance appraisals, scheduling, training, employee development, and disciplinary action.

• Coordinate and ensure proper operation of logging operations.

• Operate equipment needed in harvesting timber, build and maintain skid trails and forest roads, establish food plots for wildlife, and reclaim disturbed areas.

• Conduct, schedule, and supervise maintenance and repairs for facilities, vehicles, and equipment used by staff and students.

Qualifications

• Master of Science degree in Forest Management is preferred. Bachelor's degree is required.

• At least three (3) years experience of scientifically supported forest management is required.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills (in English) to communicate effectively with administrators, contractors, industry personnel, state agencies, faculty, students, outside cooperators, and the general public.

• Ability to lift and carry equipment (sometimes exceeding 50 lbs) to work areas, bend, walk, reach, sit, and stand for long periods of time in all types of weather and on rough terrain.
