Team Lead - Black Forest Together Work Projects

Save to Favorites

The team lead’s role is a liaison between Black Forest residents and the volunteer teams helping with cleanup and/or mitigation. Duties include working with the resident /homeowner to understand the work to be done, oversight of the volunteer team, and troubleshooting as needed.

Physical requirements include being able to walk the terrain and be outdoors and standing for 4-6 hours. Although physically helping the volunteers is appreciated, if you have physical limitations, it is not necessary. Typical work projects include picking up and loading slash or burnt wood, and creating a defensible space around the home by cutting small branches with a hand saw and raking and bagging pine needles. With the addition of the new chipper to our tool and equipment inventory, we would like to train some team leads on its operation. Team leads also conduct safety briefings related to the project. The team lead will ensure that liability waivers have been collected from all participants, and will prepare a short after report (less than one page) of the day’s activities.
