Procurement Forester

The Procurement Forester must be willing and able to build the relationships with landowners, loggers, and timber dealers necessary to procure a consistent supply of high-quality logs for the mill.  The successful candidate will be self-motivated, a quick learner, and be eager to take on higher-level responsibilities or a position of leadership. 

What you will do:

• Purchase pine stumpage from private landowners

• Timber cruising on private and US Forest Service land

• Oversee timber harvesting operations

• Purchase delivered wood from delivered supplier force

• Grow the supplier force to meet the future consumption needs of the mill

• Field visits to correct/educate loggers on mill’s needs and specifications for logs

• Scale house trained….just in case needed for backup

• Coordinate with Procurement Manager to ensure wood flow and log size is being met

• Communicate with sister mills to help meet enterprise needs

• Work with mill management with continual improvement projects
