timber concessionaire


Explanation:
I would use the literal translation here.

Example sentence(s):
  • A pilot carbon offset project was initiated in Sabah, Malaysia, in 1992 in which a power company provided funds to a timber concessionaire to implement guidelines aimed at reducing logging damage.

logging permit holder


Explanation:
This is what you'd say in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle area). We'd also never say "lumberjack" or "woodcutter", preferring the term "logger" instead.
