Technician work lands in the forestry results as employers and agencies add it, and the season is the honest headline here: much of this hiring is temporary or term, tied to the field season and the fire year, with permanent posts harder to come by. Employers ought to say which of those this is, along with the crew size, the pack weight and the terrain, whether fire qualifications are required or offered, and whether housing or per diem applies. Technicians plan a whole year around those answers.
