You are both dependable and reliable, the team member everyone can trust. You approach tasks with foresight, ensuring everything is well-organized, and communicate with clarity and confidence.

Your strong attention to detail, collaborative mindset, and unwavering drive make you a valuable and effective partner in any team setting.

As the Log Buckerman, you'll play a key role in supporting the Woodlands Scalers with their log scaling tasks.

The position is a 6-month term, running from October to March, with a schedule of Monday to Friday, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

- Participate in required Staff and/or Contractor Safety and/or Environmental Training consistent with Canfor expectations and standards. Conduct all activities in accordance with Canfor’s Woodlands Occupational Health & Safety Program and Forest Management System (FMS);
- Ensure maintenance and proper use of required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at all times (will be provided)
- Inspect and maintain chainsaw equipment, regular calibration of log measuring devices, and maintaining facilities according to Canfor standards
- Ensure understanding of the required log lengths required for log scaling according to Canfor standards
- Measure and mark Tree-Length (TL) Conifer (eg. Spruce, Pine, etc.) and Deciduous (e.g. Aspen, Poplar, etc.) sample loads according to Canfor procedures
- Work with Woodlands Scalers to ensure safe bucking of Tree-Length (TL) Conifer and Deciduous sample loads while meeting production and quality objectives
For this role, come equipped with:

- Capable of working outdoors in winter conditions
