Position Summary: We are hiring two Tree Planting Program Supervisors to lead and grow our Tree Planting Program as we strive to triple the number of urban trees we plant and establish in a few short years. 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.

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.

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. Cultivate Culture : Foster an inclusive, respectful, and culturally responsive workplace. Engage with Communities : Increase and improve opportunities for equitable tree planting and establishment services by working with diverse communities and stakeholders. Ensure Quality : Ensure that our work meets the highest industry standards in terms of best management practices, safety, quality, and documentation.
