Logging Specialist

Logging specialists help design timber transportation and harvesting systems, supervise timber harvests, and ensure protection of soil, water, and other natural resources during logging. Logging engineers work with people, highly technical machines and computers, and natural resources.

A logging specialist oversees many workers on their crew. Running the equipment and machinery is a large portion of a logging specialist’s daily routine. Paper work and correspondence with timber mills is important so that the product gets to market in a timely matter.

Logging specialists prepare land for cutting and perform many harvests in a week’s time. With their crew, a logging specialist harvest and delivers their product to the timber mills for preparation for the market place.
