Forest Contract Management Officer

The role
We’re looking for an enthusiastic forestry professional to join our welcoming and driven Forest Operations Team, based near Llanrwst. As a Contract Manager Officer for Forest Operations, you’ll play a vital role in delivering sustainable forest management across one of Wales’ most diverse and beautiful landscapes.

In this key position, you’ll lead on the contract management and implementation of forest operations — from clear-felling and restocking to managing low-impact silvicultural systems — supporting the sustainable delivery of our Forest Resource Plans. You'll work within a small team, collaborate with internal and external partners, and support a Senior Officer in your allocated geographic area and/or silvicultural specialism.

This is a role for someone who has attention to detail and who thrives on hands-on site management. You’ll be preparing bespoke contracts with the support of a senior officer using GIS and IT tools, working closely with customers and contractors to identify constraints and opportunities, and ensuring work on the ground is carried out safely and to a high standard.

Interviews will take place face to face in the Gwydir Office, next to Gwydir Chapel, Llanrwst, LL26 0PN
