Research/Govt/Industry Association

Executive General Manager

Company/Location: Green Triangle Forestry Industry Hub, Mount Gambier, Australia

Job Description:

The Green Triangle Forest Industries Hub (GTFIH) was created by industry leaders as a strategic alliance between nine companies from the forest industry supply chains in the Green Triangle reflecting the long-standing commitment to working collectively for the future of the Green Triangle.

Today, GTFIH brings together growers, processors, contractors, industry bodies and regional partners to support the growth, resilience and success of forestry industries in the Green Triangle. The region is nationally significant, accounting for 17% of Australia's plantation estate and underpinning softwood housing supply, hardwood export trade and regional manufacturing. The Hub's role is to help position the Green Triangle as Australia's timber and fibre capital - sustainably grown, locally processed and nationally vital.

GTFIH has entered a new phase with a refreshed Strategic Plan. The focus is practical and regionally important: growing the estate; building a safe, innovative and productive workforce; and strengthening community relationships. This work is being delivered through projects funded by government, industry and members.

The Executive General Manager will lead the Hub at a pivotal time for the region, with significant investment in timber processing, advanced manufacturing, fibre recovery and local value capture. The EGM will also be central to demonstrating the importance of the Green Triangle to governments, communities and investors, while working closely with South Australian Forest Products Association (SAFPA), Victorian Forest Products Association (VFPA), members and regional partners.

As the current Executive General Manager is retiring, an accomplished executive is sought to continue the momentum achieved to date and to lead the next stage of the Hub's development. The position is based at the new Forestry Centre of Excellence in Mount Gambier, in South Australia's Limestone Coast region, and reports to the Chair of the GTFIH Board. Key result areas include:

  • Lead the delivery of the Strategic and Business Plan, ensuring delivery of priority projects and outcomes for members, funding partners and the region.
  • Strengthen the Hub's influence, relationships and engagement across government, industry, education, research, community and regional development networks.
  • Work closely with SAFPA, VFPA and other partners to align messaging, support a coordinated industry voice and reinforce the importance of the Green Triangle.
  • Oversee government- and industry-funded projects, including compliance with grant requirements, budgets, milestones, reporting and partner expectations.
  • Maintain strong governance, Board support and financial management, including proactive preparation for Board meetings, clear reporting and sound management of risk and resources.
  • Champion clear, evidence-based communication that builds community trust, highlights forestry's regional contribution and supports the Hub's brand and identity.
To be successful in this dynamic role, you will be a highly credible and experienced executive with a proven record of leading strategy, projects and stakeholder outcomes in a member-led organisation, industry association, regional development body or similarly complex environment. You will understand how to balance member priorities, funder expectations, and community interests while keeping a clear focus on delivery.

You will be recognised for your ability to influence, engage and work constructively with diverse stakeholders, including industry leaders, government, media, education providers, research partners and regional communities. Your judgement, diplomacy and communication skills will enable you to navigate competing views, build trust and maintain momentum on strategically important work.

Experience in forestry, natural resources, agriculture, manufacturing, regional development, infrastructure, stakeholder engagement or a related sector would be highly regarded.

Relevant tertiary qualifications (or demonstrated prior learnings) are expected, with postgraduate study or executive development in strategy, governance, communication, public policy, business or leadership considered advantageous.

Cornerstone International Group has been engaged to assist GTFIH with this important appointment. Please submit your expression of interest and resume to Allan Rae, Managing Partner, Cornerstone International Group, Melbourne, allan-rae@cornerstone-group.com.

Company/Location: OneFortyOne New Zealand Ltd, Nelson

Job Description:

GIS Analyst – Forest Management (Senior / Intermediate)

  • Influence and shape our GIS and forest information system
  • Make a real contribution to sustainable land and forestry management
  • Competitive salary + great benefits!
We’re seeking an experienced GIS Analyst to join our professional forestry team and support the planning, management, and optimisation of our forestry assets.

We’re currently reviewing our forest systems and working towards replacing our existing GIS platform with a state‑of‑the‑art system, and this role will play a key part in supporting this transition and shape how spatial data is used across the business now and into the future.

About us

OneFortyOne NZ manages 80,000 hectares of land across a stunning landscape at the top of the south. This includes a 62,000-hectare production of tree crops and over 10,000 hectares of native vegetation.

You’ll be based in our brand-new Richmond office — an engineered timber building right beside the Great Taste Trail, with views across vineyards to Mount Arthur. Coffee, sunshine, trails and forests: all right on your doorstep.

About the role

This is a great time to join OneFortyOne NZ as we invest in new systems and tools to take advantage of fast-moving technology in remote sensing, UAVs and modern forest information systems. In this role, you’ll use your GIS expertise to shape how we manage our forestry assets now and into the future.

You’ll apply GIS technology to collect, manage and analyse spatial data across our forests—turning information into practical insights that support sustainable management and optimise forest inventory. You’ll deliver high-quality spatial analysis, mapping and reporting to support forest operations, harvest planning, environmental compliance and strategic decision-making.

Just as importantly, you’ll help shape our rapidly evolving GIS and Forest Information function—expanding beyond core mapping and planning into business-wide tools, apps and trusted information products. You’ll bring the practical know-how and curiosity needed to influence how spatial data, workflows and user experiences are designed across the business.

This is a hands-on, problem-solving role where you’ll continuously improve day-to-day ways of working, add value through better information, and help identify and manage operational and compliance risks.
