Our goal is to coordinate the planting of 10,000 trees annually, with a focus on large, native, and evergreen trees. Historic investments have been made to increase tree canopy equity in Portland. These Supervisor positions will be instrumental in the successful planning and implementation of this momentous effort. The Tree Planting Program Supervisors will lead their teams to increase tree canopy and reduce heat in communities where trees are needed most: in low-income and low-canopy areas of the city, and in Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities. Our Tree Planting Program is part of the Urban Forestry division of Portland Parks & Recreation and is responsible for the planting and establishment of thousands of trees annually in yards, parks, and along streets. We manage the Free Street Tree Program , the Yard Tree Giveaway Program , the Learning Landscapes Program , park tree plantings, and plantings for other City of Portland bureaus. With the unprecedented funding and community partnerships our program is now experiencing, our programs will expand, and new programs will be developed. The Tree Planting Program Supervisors will each lead a team of tree planting specialists and seasonal employees to plan, implement, and evaluate planting programs. Planting teams will focus on areas such as the public right-of-way or private property. Supervisors will assist with hiring and training new tree planting specialists and seasonal employees as our overall program expands. This includes coaching, mentoring, training, and providing feedback to employees to improve their performance and advance their careers. Supervisors will work closely with the Tree Planting Program Supervisor II and Tree Planting Manager to develop multi-year planting plans, manage contracts, ensure that all plantings meet quality standards, manage communication, and conduct outreach. Each Tree Planting Program Supervisor will lead a team of approximately eight full-time employees and multiple seasonal staff. What you'll get to do: Champion Equity and Environmental Justice : Lead a team driven to increase access and reduce barriers to new trees, promote workforce diversity, and serve the public through compassionate engagement. Manage Urban Tree Plantings : Lead your team through the planning, implementation, and evaluation of tree planting and establishment programs in the public right-of-way, on private property, and/or on city property. Lead and Build Your Team : Hire, train, coach, and supervise your own team of tree planting specialists to be proactive problem solvers and to implement the best practices of public service, urban forestry, project management, GIS/database management, and contract management.

Ensure Quality : Ensure that our work meets the highest industry standards in terms of best management practices, safety, quality, and documentation.
