Through partnerships with regional NGOs, government agencies, and business leaders, Southern Oregon Forest Restoration Collaborative (SOFRC) coordinates impactful restoration projects prioritizing forest health, wildfire resilience, and sustainable workforce development. SOFRC also plays a key role in educational outreach and workforce training, delivering forestry and fire-focused curricula to Southern Oregon schools and communities.
As we work to implement these initiatives, we need dedicated team members who are passionate about restoration, innovation, and community collaboration.
The Rogue Basin CFLRP Coordinator will focus on strategic, landscape-scale, cross-boundary forest management coordination to achieve fire-adapted landscapes and resilient watersheds. In partnership with the RRSNF project manager, the coordinator will organize the disparate projects, funding streams, partners, and opportunities within each landscape-level initiative.
This position provides the administrative structure for effective collaborative planning, implementation, monitoring, engagement, and reporting for the Rogue Basin Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration (RBCFLR) projects. Supervised by the executive director of SOFRC, the position will work closely with Rogue Forest Partners and federal project managers to coordinate workflows across landscapes where partner projects are located. This is an external position parallel to the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest special projects manager, enabling effective communication among all Partners, including staying accountable for timely performance on collaborative results.
The Project Coordinator will work independently to achieve tasks that require attention to detail, persistence, problem-solving skills (able to recalibrate their approach), and clear tenacity for working at multiple scales. The objective of these administrative tasks will be to help coordinate the development, implementation, and monitoring of projects. Throughout the project lifecycle, they will monitor and measure project progress, facilitate needed action as necessary, and communicate project status information to all stakeholders.
Joining SOFRC means being at the heart of forest restoration, with opportunities to engage in project coordination, data analysis, community outreach, and partnership building. If you are ready to contribute to meaningful change and help shape the future of Oregon’s forests, we invite you to explore our job openings and become part of our dedicated team.
