Bring your commitment to excellence in sustainable forest management

BC Timber Sales (BCTS) is a unique program of the Ministry of Forests (MOF).

Working collaboratively with regional and district operations, BCTS plans, develops, and auctions a substantial portion of the province's annual available timber volume.

BCTS operates as a for profit entity within a government organization.

Its goal is to provide credible representative price and cost benchmark data for the Market Pricing System through auctions of timber harvested from British Columbia's public land.

BCTS operations are guided by three overarching principles, forest sector safety, reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples and sustainable forest management.

The Planning Forester analyzes and produces a wide range of data to develop integrated resource and operational plans, primarily the Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) and operating plans.

The position develops and implements results and strategies to meet the FSP and ensures planning components meet legislative, operating, and certification requirements.

The position provides functional direction to field team professionals and technicians with expertise in timber development, harvesting, engineering and silviculture.

The position builds and maintains relationships with representatives from Indigenous Peoples, resource stakeholders, Ministry and industry contacts.

A career path in BC Timber Sales offers exceptional opportunities to develop new solutions to complex problems, and to learn and grow personally and professionally.

Existing and future BCTS employees have the opportunity to impact public and private forests, communities, the economy and the lives of British Columbians in positive and unique ways.
