We are looking for a Forest Engineer to join our team and support the protection, development, and sustainable management of forest ecosystems through strong technical knowledge, analytical thinking, and practical field experience. The person in this role will take an active part in projects focused on efficient natural resource use, biodiversity conservation, erosion prevention, afforestation planning, and wildfire risk reduction. The Forest Engineer will work in both field and office settings, conducting land assessments, evaluating inventory data, managing mapping and reporting processes, and coordinating with public institutions, local authorities, contractors, and community stakeholders.
This position goes beyond technical implementation alone; it also includes environmental impact evaluation, regulatory compliance monitoring, and the development of long-term forestry strategies. The ideal candidate should have knowledge of forest management, silviculture, soil and water conservation, nursery operations, rehabilitation projects, and habitat improvement practices. In addition, the candidate is expected to contribute to decision-making processes by using remote sensing, geographic information systems, and data analysis tools.
The successful candidate will be able to develop solution-oriented approaches while considering current environmental challenges such as climate change, drought, pests, and human-driven pressures. The role includes critical responsibilities such as selecting afforestation sites, preparing species-based planting plans, monitoring maintenance and regeneration activities, evaluating harvesting plans according to sustainability principles, and ensuring field safety standards are followed. The position also involves tracking project budgets, preparing technical specifications, and reporting performance indicators.
The Forest Engineer must work collaboratively with professionals from different disciplines to create solutions that balance environmental, economic, and social goals. Developing practices that consider local community needs, prioritize the protection of natural resources for future generations, and rely on scientific evidence is central to this role. If you have strong capabilities in nature conservation, sustainable resource management, field operations, and technical planning, and if you are a detail-oriented, responsible, and results-driven professional, this opportunity can offer a meaningful and rewarding career path.
