Description

Archaeologists On-Call

We are the Environment & Planning Division. We are passionate about doing what’s right for our clients, our people, the communities where we live and work, and the environment. We are planners, scientists, program managers, communicators, economists, technologists, and strategists. We are collaborative, curious, and committed to excellence—these are qualities we value that make us who we are and inspire us to grow.  ICF is currently seeking On-Call (Temporary) Archaeologists.

Job Description

The On-Call/Temporary Archaeologist will assist senior archaeologists primarily in fieldwork, with tasks including survey, testing, evaluation, data recovery, and construction monitoring. However, other duties could include laboratory analysis, conducting background research, assistance with report preparation, and other tasks as assigned. This position requires excellent field skills, the ability to identify precontract and historic-period artifacts, and taking detailed field notes. Travel for up to 10 days may be involved, and work will occur outdoors under all weather conditions.

About On-Call Employment with ICF

Given the seasonal or project-specific nature of our environmental work, ICF often hires environmental professionals as “On-Call” employees. On-Call employees are scheduled for work hours as they become available (while we usually schedule work hours a few weeks ahead of time, last minute scheduling may also occur), and each on-call employee is free to accept or refuse the hours assigned to them in a given week. On-Call employees may work concurrent projects outside of their ICF assignment (as long as their outside work does not create a conflict of interest with the work they do for ICF).

What You Must Have

  • 1+ years of field experience in archaeological monitoring and survey
  • Must have valid driver’s license and successfully pass a Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) check.

What We Would Like You To Have

  • Ability to communicate and coordinate effectively with ICF senior staff and construction personnel
  • Knowledge and familiarity with computers and smart devices is critical
  • Background in precontact or historic-period archaeology is required
  • Ability to conduct field visits at locations throughout Southern California
  • Active 40-hour HAZWOPER training
  • Experience working with and communicating with construction crews
