Role description:

Arcadis is seeking a mid-level Staff Archaeologist/Cultural Resources Specialist within our cultural resources practice in the Pacific Northwest US. As part of this role, you will conduct archaeological field work for multiple projects and at all levels of investigation, from site identification to data recovery, and archaeological monitoring. You will work on projects that require shovel testing, pedestrian surveys, and site documentation. In this role, you will also be responsible for preparing technical reports and documents. The position requires someone with knowledge and experience working in Oregon and Washington at a federal and state level.

This position will require a candidate to work collaboratively with the Arcadis cultural resources team and the overall environmental permitting team.

However, this position will be both a field and office position, so the successful candidate can expect to work remotely and in the office, as needed. The ability to travel to various project sites, including overnight travel, will be required (field work expectations are approximately 50 to 60%).

Role accountabilities:

The more technical aspects of your role will be serving as a project lead in Oregon and Washington. You will be working on multiple projects including all levels of investigation (Classes I-III, archaeological monitoring). Conducting your own

fieldwork, as well as managing archaeological field staff and archaeological field crews (including subcontractors) will be required. You will need to conduct or lead field assessments related to archaeological projects. This will require a working knowledge of GPS systems and the ability to walk and conduct fieldwork for long hours, as well as carry supplies weighing up to 40 pounds. This role will require the ability to travel up to 50%. Additionally, you will use your excellent technical writing and communications skills to author technical documents and provide survey details and results to project teams.
