Field Assistant (forest inventory)

at  Pinetech Pacific

Demand for our forest assessment services continues to grow and we are always on the lookout for people to join our business. Successful employees are fit and enjoy the outdoors (in all weather conditions), and are aligned to our core values of safety, attention to detail and honesty. A background in outdoor work is a useful indicator of success.
Field data collection positions usually are available for the right people in New Zealand. New employees normally take up the role of Field Assistant; working as part of a two-person inventory crew with a more experienced Crew Leader. Pinetech provides full on-job training for new employees. In-house and extramural training continues, with opportunities for staff to progress to Crew Leader, Foreman and District Manager.
Wages are competitive within the forestry sector, and productivity and quality performance are encouraged by generous profit share and incentive plans.

SUMMARY:

We require a Field Assistant to carry out data collection in the Central North Island plantation forests. Forests can be a tough and challenging environment and we work in all weather, so being fit and enjoying working in the outdoors is very important.
Field Assistants spend every day in the forest working as part of a two person measurement team. We are looking for an employee who will master this role, and advance quickly to a more technical role with greater responsibilities.

• Being ready for work at 6.30 am every day
• Maintaining personal measurement and protective equipment
• Observing safe work practices
• Undertaking training to advance inventory skills
  For the right person we offer a competitive wage with the opportunity to earn bonuses every pay. Previous forestry experience is not a pre-requisite; we provide all training in-house to increase inventory skills and earning capacity.
