Living Carbon

General

• Develop technical design of reforestation projects, integrating carbon modeling, site-specific ecology, and disturbance history to optimize both forest establishment success and carbon removal outcomes
• Collaborate with our carbon science team to refine and operationalize MRV (monitoring, reporting, and verification) approaches using remote sensing and field-based inventory methods
• Serve as field point of contact and technical lead for contractors including planting crews, site preparation teams, and other natural resource personnel and conservation partners
• Conduct site reconnaissance, GIS analysis, and due diligence assessments to evaluate new project opportunities and guide implementation planning
• Oversee planting execution, forest monitoring, and post-establishment surveys maintaining rigorous data quality throughout
• Regular travel to project sites for due diligence, site preparation, planting season and continual forest monitoring
• Synthesize and apply current research in forest ecology, soil carbon, and climate adaptation to continuously improve project design standards and species selection
• Develop and refine our implementation playbook for scaling reforestation across tens of thousands of acres of degraded land
• Build and maintain relationships with federal and state forestry agencies, natural resource departments, and conservation organizations
• Prepare technical and programmatic reports for senior management, investors, and registry partners, including project progress, cost analyses, and ecological impact assessments
