PRF is actively hiring Contract Foresters to support utility vegetation management (UVM) and tree risk assessment across our service territory. In this role you’ll work outdoors, directly improving public safety, service reliability, and community resilience — assessing vegetation, planning and scoping work, and ensuring the work performed meets standard.

Who We Are

PRF Forestry Specialists was founded in 2011 and has grown into one of the nation’s leading utility vegetation management companies.

Conduct productivity, safety, and quality assurance / quality control assessments of suppliers performing VM work
Use GIS, GPS units, iPads, and mobile software to collect and manage field data
Maintain all required paperwork, receipts, mileage logs, and activity sheets, submitting them on time
Participate in safety classes and on-the-job performance evaluations

What You’ll Need

Must be at least 18 years old with a valid driver’s license
Associate degree in Forestry, Natural Resources, or a related field (Bachelor’s preferred), or equivalent field experience
Experience in forestry, vegetation management, or utility arboriculture
Familiarity with GIS mapping, GPS devices, and Microsoft Office Suite
Ability to work independently, manage time, and prioritize across a large geographic area
Strong communication, customer service, and problem-solving skills
Strong organizational skills with close attention to detail
Ability to maintain positive working relationships with contractors while enforcing quality and safety standards
