Vacant job

Your Future Workplace

We are looking for three forest consultants in advisory roles focused on considerate forest management for the forests of the future.

We offer placements within Region Mitt: Karlstad/Torsby, Gävle, and Nyköping.

The role of a forest consultant is a varied job with stimulating tasks and opportunities for professional development. You will be responsible for planning, organizing, and conducting advisory activities.

We work across larger geographical areas, so the job requires you to be able to travel and sometimes stay overnight in other locations.

Responsibilities

Your tasks will primarily be within our advisory operations, currently focusing on considerate forest management for the future climate. Our advisory services are largely conducted digitally via Teams, but physical meetings in the field are also a natural format. Other tasks may include participation in projects and commissioned work. The job involves contacts with forest owners, forestry companies, the public, and other authorities.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone with a degree in forestry. You have good knowledge of forest management and forestry-related climate issues. Previous experience in forestry work is an advantage. We would also appreciate knowledge in pedagogy and digital course operations.

We place great importance on your personal qualities. The job requires you to be proactive and able to drive various activities, as well as to work independently and in a structured manner. Building and maintaining contacts is important for the job. You have good collaboration skills.

You should have basic knowledge of IT/GIS. A manual B driver's license is required.

Our Offer to You

We offer a permanent position at 100% starting with a 6-month probation period. Start date is according to agreement. You should indicate your preferred location (Karlstad/Torsby, Gävle, or Nyköping) in your application.

Welcome with your application by March 22 via this link (https://skogsstyrelsen.varbi.com/se/what:job/jobID:893325/)!
