- Do daily inspections and preventative maintenance, and handle basic field repairs.
- Keep the crew and supervisor up to date on progress, issues and safety.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Must have: at least 2 years running a forwarder in cut-to-length operations.
- Must have: experience in thinnings or partial cuts, or a robust interest in learning this style of work.
- Must have: mechanically capable; you can diagnose and fix common issues.
- Must have: valid Class 5 driver's licence and a reliable safety record.
- Assets: First Aid, WHMIS, forestry safety training, onboard computer or production-reporting experience.
