About us FORLIANCE initiates, finances, creates and manages robust nature-based climate projects and integrates them into sustainability strategies with our clients to achieve their Net Zero Carbon targets. Together with our global partners, and our 50+ team members in ten countries, we strive to create intact forests and ecosystems that positively impact our climate, biodiversity and human well-being. We offer companies effective solutions for climate protection by developing individual climate protection strategies.
Your responsibilities
You will be responsible for the technical development of forest inventory design and implementation, including data and statistics analysis, and forest growth & yield modeling
You will develop forest growth curves and model nature-based projects focused on ARR and IFM activities
You will optimize or fully design forestry project activities, considering climate benefits (carbon), economics, carbon markets, and biodiversity
Automating the calculations of GHG emission reductions and removals will also be part of your tasks.
Furthermore, you will be responsible for drafting sections related to GHG calculations for the project document and the monitoring report
You will calculate and estimate emission reductions/removals from different AFOLU project types using recognized carbon accounting methodologies
The development and implementation of independent verification systems for nature-based projects will also be part of your responsibilities
Additionally, you will analyze carbon standards’ methodological requirements and calculation tools within the framework of forest project development
Your profile
You hold a Master’s or PhD degree in forestry engineering, environmental sciences, agronomy, bioinformatics, or any sustainability-related field
You have at least 4 years of experience in Sustainable Forest Management
You have a strong understanding of statistics and forest growth modeling
You are experienced with data science and familiar with programming languages such as R or Python
You have proven expertise in forest inventory design and MRV
You possess a good understanding and familiarity with GHG accounting, carbon modeling, and quantification with different carbon standards
You have excellent language and writing skills in English. Proficiency in Spanish is desirable, and knowledge of a third language (French or German) is considered a plus
