Cultural Resources Specialist
We are seeking a Cultural Resources Specialist to support the identification, evaluation, documentation, and protection of archaeological, historical, and cultural resources. This role will contribute to projects involving cultural resource surveys, environmental reviews, construction monitoring, permitting, and regulatory compliance. The successful candidate will work closely with project managers, archaeologists, historians, tribal representatives, agencies, consultants, and members of the public to ensure that cultural resources are responsibly managed and legally protected.
Key responsibilities include conducting background research and records reviews; assisting with or leading archaeological and architectural surveys; preparing technical reports, site forms, management recommendations, and regulatory documentation; coordinating fieldwork and monitoring activities; and maintaining accurate project records and databases. You may also support consultation activities, evaluate potential project impacts, develop avoidance or mitigation measures, and help ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and local preservation laws and regulations. The position may involve travel to project sites, outdoor fieldwork in varying conditions, and occasional overnight assignments. Strong attention to detail, sound professional judgment, and the ability to manage multiple deadlines are essential.
Applicants should have a degree in archaeology, anthropology, history, architectural history, historic preservation, or a closely related discipline, along with relevant professional experience. Familiarity with cultural resource management practices, applicable preservation legislation, archaeological methods, and technical report preparation is required. Experience with geographic information systems, digital field data collection, archival research, and consultation with Native American tribes or other traditionally affiliated communities is highly desirable. Candidates must be able to communicate clearly in writing and in person, work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team, and maintain a professional and respectful approach when working with sensitive cultural information. A valid driver’s license and willingness to travel may be required.
