Transforming Forestry
Rātā is a Māori-owned forestry and land management business helping landowners improve environmental outcomes, strengthen catchment resilience and make better long-term land-use decisions.
We believe forestry should leave catchments better than how we found them.
Not by chance. By deliberate planning, practical innovation and continuous improvement.
We're seeking a Catchment Resilience Supervisor to join our Forestry Operations & Resources Team.
The Role
Working alongside experienced forestry practitioners, engineers, environmental specialists, GIS professionals and land-use advisers, you'll help plan, assess and improve environmental outcomes across forestry operations.
This role combines:
- Environmental and catchment planning
- Field assessment and monitoring
- Operational and spatial data analysis
- Continuous improvement
- Development of practical, site-specific solutions
You'll work across the full forestry cycle, helping ensure decisions are evidence-based and focused on long-term catchment outcomes.
Why Rātā?
Rātā is not a traditional forestry company.
We are practitioners, thought leaders and trusted connectors working across forestry, resilience, environmental stewardship and land-use optimisation.
Our team integrates expertise in forestry operations, engineering, environmental planning, GIS, resource management, carbon and catchment resilience to solve real-world challenges and help shape the future of forestry in Te Tairāwhiti.
About You
You may come from forestry, engineering, environmental management, land management or a related discipline.
You will be:
- Practical and solutions-focused
- Comfortable in the field and working with data
- Curious, analytical and improvement-minded
- A strong communicator
- Passionate about better forestry and better catchment outcomes
