job description
Join a leading environmental organization as a Forest Management Specialist II and play a pivotal role in sustainable land use, conservation, and reforestation initiatives across Bali’s diverse ecosystems. This full-time position offers the opportunity to work on high-impact projects that balance ecological preservation with community development, ensuring long-term environmental resilience in one of Indonesia’s most biodiverse regions.
As a key member of our team, you will collaborate with government agencies, local communities, and international partners to design, implement, and monitor forest management strategies. Your expertise will contribute to climate change mitigation, biodiversity protection, and sustainable livelihoods for local stakeholders. This role is ideal for a passionate professional with a background in forestry, environmental science, or natural resource management who thrives in dynamic, field-based environments.
Bali’s unique landscapes—from coastal mangroves to upland forests—provide a living laboratory for innovative conservation practices. You’ll have the chance to work in stunning locations such as Ubud’s cultural heartland, Denpasar’s urban-green interfaces, or the pristine forests of Badung and Nusa Dua, while engaging with global best practices in sustainable forestry.
If you’re driven by a commitment to environmental stewardship and seek a career that combines technical expertise with meaningful impact, we invite you to apply. This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to shape the future of Bali’s natural heritage.

- Prepare technical reports, grant proposals, and policy recommendations to support funding and regulatory compliance.
- Lead training programs for local stakeholders on sustainable forestry practices, fire prevention, and climate-resilient land use.
- Ensure compliance with Indonesian environmental laws, international conservation standards, and project-specific guidelines.
- Coordinate with research institutions to integrate scientific findings into practical forest management solutions.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Forestry, Environmental Science, Natural Resource Management, Ecology, or a related field.

- Experience working with local communities, government agencies, and international donors in participatory project implementation.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English and Bahasa Indonesia, with the ability to produce clear technical reports.
- Physical fitness and willingness to work in remote field locations with varying terrain and weather conditions.
