**Join the Coast Area Pricing Team; a dynamic team of forestry professionals in the Coastal city of Nanaimo, BC**

The Billing and Export Clerk role helps administer the operational timber pricing of all crown timber harvested or transacted within the Coast Forest Region of British Columbia.

The position is primarily responsible for: (a) processing information and generating forest revenue invoices to enable the government to bill forest clients for revenue owed under the Forest Act; (b) administering the log export program; and (c) administering the marine log salvage program.

Timber harvested or transacted in the province is measured by weight, piece scale, or timber cruise. With regards to invoice billing, the Government of British Columbia collects revenue relating to: (a) stumpage for crown timber that is harvested; (b) waste for crown timber that was not extracted from a cutblock; (c) marine log salvage activity; and (d) the fee in-lieu of manufacturing for raw logs exported from the province. Other activities may include penalty billing.

With regards to Marine Log Salvage, billing staff are responsible for the issuance of salvage licences and associated marine log salvage hammer marks.

The Billing and Export Clerk is one of two clerks working within the Nanaimo Office under the supervision of the Billing and Export Supervisor, and within a team of eleven Coast Area timber pricing staff. The role requires attention to detail, the ability to troubleshoot technical challenges, and the ability to find creative solutions with respect to computer systems. Once trained the incumbent may be required to provide technical expertise to managers and policy makers; or to train clients submitting billing information to the government.

If you enjoy problem solving and large databases, then this job may be ideal for you. This job could be the ideal next step in your career whether you’re new to government, or already in the Public Service.

Thank you for your interest.
