Prepare and communicate market intelligence and procurement recommendations to executive leadership.

Negotiate log purchases, timber contracts, and long-term supplier agreements.

Travel regularly throughout procurement regions to inspect timber, suppliers, log yards, and purchasing opportunities.

Coordinate procurement activities with production planning to maintain optimal inventory levels while controlling procurement costs.

Maintain accurate purchasing records, pricing analyses, and market reports.

Promote responsible sourcing practices and ensure compliance with applicable forestry regulations and company policies.

Desired Qualifications

Minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in hardwood log purchasing, timber procurement, forestry management, veneer log procurement, or a related forest products industry.

Demonstrated expertise in evaluating and scaling veneer-quality hardwood logs and understanding grading standards.

Extensive knowledge of commercially valuable hardwood species, including White Oak, Red Oak, Walnut, Cherry, Hard Maple, Soft Maple, Hickory, Ash, Poplar, and other premium hardwoods.

Thorough understanding of domestic and international hardwood markets, export demand, pricing trends, and global supply dynamics.
