Thread: German Forester

Hey,

my name is Julian, I am a 24 years old forester from Germany.
Right now I am doing my state examinations, which allows me to work for the federal forestry departments.
Its a good job, I am a lot in the outdoors and hunting is a part of my profession.
But years ago I have visted nz and was fascinated by the nature and wildlife.
So I think about to go to nz after I have finished this exams. Do you know If there is any job opportunity for guys like me? I have studied forestry and silvicultre and also worked for federal state department of forestry, a german nationalpark and also for the wildlife management department of my university.
The jobs I would looking for are more linked with conversation and hunting than with "normal forestry".
What do you think?

Best regards,
J

@JoshC

Thank you, guys!

Thanky you buddys, very kind of you !

Julian, here in NZ the roles that a German forester does are more or less separated, ie. silviculture and game management are separate roles. However, NZ is covered in forestry so you've got as good a chance as any with your qualifications. Have a look at Forestry news, forestry jobs - Friday Offcuts for jobs. Cheers

Thank you Pointer, I know about this facts, but I hope to get a job in one of this both fields. I will have a look at the wb pages you`ve posted!!! Thx!
