2 weeks ago

St Catharines, Canada Stark Lumber Full time

We are seeking qualified applicants for the role of Chainsaw Operator, for the summer and/or fall of 2021, to carry out restoration projects throughout the watershed area under the guidance of the field supervisor. Depending on the qualifications of applicants, the Chainsaw Operator position may be combined with the role of Assistant Supervisor. We require at least one individual who has already completed an approved chainsaw training course. However, someone who has extensive chainsaw experience and is willing to take the approved course when it is offered next, may be considered for one of the positions (to begin after completion of the course).
- The chainsaw operator is responsible for the care, maintenance, storage, and handling of the chainsaw when assigned for a project. This includes being responsible for gas and oil supply for daily use and informing the field supervisor of any safety features that have broken.
- Assess all work sites for current safe work conditions (incl. tree conditions and ground conditions) and take precautions to improve safety of a site if it is deemed to have safety issues during initial assessment.
- Explain to supervisor onsite their plan for how chainsaw activities will be completed, so supervisor understands and can plan duties for other staff.
- Carry out activities such as cutting standing dead trees in riparian zones, cutting fallen trees from streams, small patch cuts in aging forests, and cutting coniferous branches for use in brush mat construction.
- When chainsaw skills are not required, the individual will join the rest of the work crew in other activities such as tree planting, erosion control, installing brush mats, improving fish habitat, working with basic hand tools such as shovels, saws, axes, loppers, pry bars, etc.
- Possible participation in other projects, such as our water monitoring program, public education campaigns, or water conservation program, depending on individual skills and abilities.
