Summer Internship Program - Full-Time Seasonal Forest Technicians
Prentiss & Carlisle, a leading forest management firm headquartered in Bangor, Maine, is looking for several energetic and reliable individuals to work on an internship basis during the summer as part of its Lake States
Regional team. The P&C Lake States staff manages woodlands and provides timberland services in Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to varied clientele.
Each position to be filled is a summer internship as a forest technician that will be cruising and marking timber in northern Wisconsin or Michigan’s U.P. in a variety of forest types. Interns will locate in close proximity to the properties on which they will be working, with daily communication and oversight from the
District or Area Forester charged with overseeing that particular property.
Ideal candidates will have a solid work ethic, commitment to team success, high level of integrity, and be capable of completing work with limited supervision. Long days in varied weather and environmental conditions are to be expected and must be worked through accordingly. Traversing over rough and difficult terrain is to be expected. This is a paid internship position; hourly with no benefits. Interns will be paid by hours of productive field time. Any overnight travel and lodging expenses will be reimbursed or prearranged on a per project basis by supervisor. Some use of personal vehicle will likely be necessary, so a vehicle capable of transporting to/from work in the deep woods is highly preferable. Mileage will be reimbursed. On-the-job training to P&C standards will be applied. All equipment will be provided.
Term Length: Summer 2015 field season, flexible based on school schedule; possible fall 2015 extension
