Cultural Resources Field Monitor
We are seeking a Cultural Resources Field Monitor to support construction and land-disturbance activities in areas with known or potential archaeological, historic, or cultural resources. The successful candidate will monitor ground-disturbing work, including excavation, grading, trenching, and site preparation, to help ensure compliance with approved cultural resources management plans, permits, and applicable regulations. This role requires sound judgment, careful observation, and the ability to communicate effectively with construction crews, supervisors, project personnel, and cultural resources specialists.
Key responsibilities include conducting systematic visual inspections of work areas; identifying, documenting, and protecting archaeological materials, features, or human remains; maintaining accurate daily monitoring logs, photographs, maps, and field notes; and promptly reporting discoveries or potential impacts according to established procedures. The Field Monitor may assist with archaeological surveys, site evaluations, artifact handling, GPS data collection, field forms, and preparation of monitoring summaries or technical documentation. The position may also require coordinating with field crews to pause or modify work when cultural resources are encountered, maintaining confidentiality of sensitive site information, and following all health, safety, environmental, and cultural protocols.
Applicants should have a degree or relevant coursework in archaeology, anthropology, cultural resources management, history, or a related discipline, along with practical field experience or training in archaeological monitoring. Familiarity with regional cultural history, archaeological identification, applicable heritage regulations, and standard field methods is preferred. Strong written and verbal communication skills, attention to detail, physical stamina, and the ability to work independently in changing outdoor conditions are essential. Candidates must be comfortable walking over uneven terrain, standing for extended periods, working around active construction equipment, and traveling to project locations as required. Experience with GPS units, tablets, digital photography, mapping applications, or technical reporting is advantageous. A valid driver’s licence and the ability to meet any required background, safety, or professional certification standards may also be necessary.
