About the opportunity

The forestry technical team provide an essential technical service to the staff of the forestry department as well as the wider network of auditors, agents and certificate holders across the globe. No two days are the same as we regularly respond to scheme owner changes through integration into our Quality Management Systems, training and calibrating our network and co-ordinating internal and external audits and findings to ensure full implementation. We regularly collaborate with our scheme owners including FSC and PEFC to ensure that the certification standards are robust and implementable enabling us to increase our positive impact on responsible forest management through our certification activities. The integration of the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) into the scheme owner accreditation standards has instigated an expansion of our team of technical staff.
