Provide quote coverage for small spot business
Assist with white wood inventory levels planning and scheduling at each treating plant (min/max) to meet production requirements; work with plant managers, the Senior Director, and suppliers to maintain target inventory
Input stock transfer orders, white wood purchase orders, and assist with customs and border paperwork for white wood inventory originating at a treating plant
Identify gaps between white wood inventory and plant production schedules; notify stakeholders, including the Regional Inventory Manager, of excess inventory and shortages
Collaborate with Transportation to plan and coordinate movements, maximize transportation opportunities, and manage white wood railcar pool utilization and forecasted schedules
Perform other related duties as assigned

Timber Development (40%)

Provide a continuous supply of barkie poles to meet established annual production requirements
Cruise land to determine volume, size, and quality of timber stands
Assess timber sales from Ontario sales and MNR rules
Oversee logging contractors on timber sales and purchased tracts
Inspect and evaluate potential timber sales; follow up with successful purchasers for possible pole production
Mark barkie poles in standing timber and train contractors on marking procedures
Purchase and balance raw materials inventory to meet required production levels
Monitor barkie yields to ensure cost efficiency and budget targets are met
Maintain and develop new relationships with suppliers of barkies and fibre
Arrange transportation of purchases as needed
Ensure proper quantity and quality of materials received at locations
Supervise manufacturing of barkie poles for quality control and direct sizes toward company needs
Provide day-to-day contact with and supervision of contractors and suppliers
Work closely with Woodlands Manager(s) on managing woodlands goals and planning all activities to meet legal and financial objectives
Visit all pole potential areas on Crown land and evaluate pole potential, including volume estimation in standing timber
Follow and regularly visit all active pole harvesting sectors on Crown land during operation time
Collaborate with coworkers, log buyers, accounting, contractors, consultants, and members of the public
Communicate regularly with staff to ensure personnel, reporting, organizational, and system requirements are raised and addressed with a goal of continuous improvement
Assist in the preparation of fibre supply forecasts, including monthly estimates of pole volume for each individual job
Assist in the preparation of budgets, accruals, and forecasts; manage spending to achieve goals
Review and sign off on supplier statements
Audit and inspect inventory quality and profile at white wood pole suppliers

Ability to read and understand contracts and specifications
Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities independently
Comfort working outdoors in all weather conditions
Willingness to travel 50–60% of the time to supplier yards, harvest sites, and plant locations

Specific experience within the pole or timber manufacturing industry
Demonstrated ability to manage complex supply chains in a regional forestry context

Core Competencies

Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate operational data into actionable supply strategies
Creative problem-solving mindset
Proven ability to collaborate across departments (e.g., Procurement, Transportation, EHS)
Effective communication skills, capable of managing relationships with both internal stakeholders and external suppliers
