Living Carbon is a public benefit company with a mission to fight climate change by transforming marginal land into high-value environmental assets. Our team specializes in restoring abandoned mineland and degraded agricultural land into diverse, thriving forests. We’re backed by prominent investors including Temasek, Toyota Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital, Felicis Ventures, and YCombinator.

We are seeking a motivated and field-ready forester based in the Appalachian Region of the US to join our team supporting Forestry Operations, with an emphasis on forest establishment and contractor management. You will lead field supervision of silvicultural activities in coordination with contracted forestry consultants, oversee forest service provider contracting, and contribute to site evaluations. You will collaborate closely with Living Carbon teams across supply chain, land, and carbon science. Your primary objective will be to support the Forestry Team in achieving its forest carbon project implementation and operations objectives through focused, rapid coordination of project activities.

The ideal candidate is a proactive, collaborative self-starter interested in managing reforestation projects across the Eastern US - particularly on marginal to degraded lands. A successful candidate will have basic understanding of forest establishment using mechanical and chemical site preparation methods. The candidate should have knowledge of GIS/GPS functionality, spreadsheet creation and manipulation, and Appalachian hardwood and conifer tree identification and physiology. Equally important will be the demonstrated ability to build internal and external working relationships, the capability to work remotely and travel as needed, and a willingness to take initiative and grow within a rapidly changing early-stage company.
