Landforce is looking to fill the newly created role of Director of Wood Reuse. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build an urban woody biomass campus in conjunction with our workforce development program. Because of our dual people and planet mission, the person in this position will have the unique opportunity to use their wood reuse skills and knowledge both for environmental benefit and to support people using this training opportunity to create a better future for themselves and their families. Ideal candidates will be deeply familiar with the safe operations of lumber production, curious about how to successfully recreate production systems within an urban environment, and have a deep sensitivity to the structural inequalities and traumatic experiences that have often impacted our crew members’ lives.

The campus will ultimately include, at a minimum, a saw mill, wood drying center, and biochar production, and will be integrated into existing Landforce programming. You will be responsible for working closely with the Landforce Executive Director, our technical advisors and advisory board, and other senior staff to execute our business plan in a phased approach. Once the campus is up and running, you will be primarily responsible for directing the Wood Reuse Program, supervising staff, and ensuring that the program meets its desired goals.
