Data Analyst — Wood Fiber Supply Study

The Data Analyst serves as the technical engine for a statewide Wood Fiber Supply Study, supporting forestry analytics through reproducible data pipelines and transparent reporting. This role focuses on ingesting, engineering, and analyzing forestry datasets (FIA / TPO and approved state / county data), ensuring quality assurance, and generating reproducible, stakeholder-ready outputs. The analyst collaborates closely with the Forestry Analytics Lead and Project Manager to deliver high-quality visualizations, tables, and a static, aggregated map atlas.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop parameterized R / Python ETL pipelines for FIA / FIADB, TPO, and approved state / county data sources.
• Implement QA / QC checks, track assumptions / issues, and reconcile FIA ↔ TPO data.
• Produce descriptive baseline analytics for consumption, growth–removals, and supply envelopes.
• Support operability modeling (terrain, soils, access, ownership / management constraints).
• Generate reproducible visualizations (ggplot2, plotly, matplotlib, seaborn) and static map products (sf, terra, geopandas).
• Maintain transparent documentation (R Markdown / Jupyter notebooks, READMEs, data dictionaries).
• Collaborate via weekly working sessions with the technical lead; all deliverables and requests routed through the PM.
