Full Job Description
## Description Who We Are: Chestnut Carbon is a leading developer of nature-based carbon removal solutions, focused on generating high-quality, U.S.-based forest carbon projects that are additional, verifiable, and designed to accelerate the path to net zero. Founded in 2022 with the support of energy-focused alternative asset manager Kimmeridge, Chestnut uses a proprietary, technology-enabled approach to restore and conserve forestland—maximizing ecological value and long-term climate impact. To date, Chestnut has planted over 17 million trees across 30,000 acres and enrolled more than 175,000 acres of privately owned forestland in its improved forest management program. Our projects deliver measurable environmental benefits, including enhanced air and water quality, biodiversity, and wildlife habitat. Chestnut has executed landmark carbon removal agreements with Microsoft and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team. Chestnut recently executed a first-of-its-kind $210 million non-recourse project financing and closed a $250 million Series B round led by Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, with participation from Cloverlay, DBL Partners, and Kimmeridge LPs. Chestnut was named one of TIME Magazine’s Top GreenTech Companies of 2025 and received both the FSC President’s Award and the distinction of being the first U.S. project verified through FSC’s Verified Impact program for Biodiversity Conservation. At Chestnut, we are pioneering conservation for profit—scaling ecological restoration through market-driven solutions—and driving innovative climate financing to unlock the full potential of nature-based carbon removal. Position Summary: Forest Data Technicians primarily assist with forest cruise photo processing - the organization and digitization of photosets taken by our cruisers from the field. The Forest Data Technician will work closely with the Quality Assurance Coordinator to process data and produce deliverables under supervision from the Data Manager. This
