You'll also handle additional duties assigned by the Area and District Manager.

About American Forest Management, Inc. (AFM):

Founded in 1966, American Forest Management, Inc. is a nationally recognized land and natural resource consulting firm headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. AFM provides sustainable land management, consulting, and real estate services for a diverse range of land assets - including timberland, farmland, and other privately held lands - serving landowners throughout the United States, Panama, and Costa Rica.

AFM’s team of experienced professionals works closely with clients to understand and achieve their objectives through a comprehensive suite of land management and advisory services. With 50 regionally based offices managing almost 6 million acres, AFM offers strong local expertise, while its national platform supports collaboration among multidisciplinary teams of foresters and technical specialists to manage large and complex land projects.

AFM’s services include land and wildlife management; land sales and acquisitions; forest inventory, planning, and design; growth and yield modeling; cash-flow projections; environmental and farmland services; appraisal; forest resource data management; and harvest scheduling.

Key Responsibilities:

All aspects of fieldwork, office work, analysis, and reporting to landowner/client.
Silviculture and reforestation planning, managing contracts efficiently.

Expect extended periods outdoors, including adverse weather conditions like summer heat and extreme cold. Travel to properties across Virginia and North Carolina is required, potentially involving out-of-town and overnight stays (expenses covered).
