On-Call Archaeological Field Technician

ICF•Columbia, SC

14h•Onsite

About The Position

ICF seeks on-call field Archaeologists to assist with survey and excavation field work throughout the Southeastern United States. The technicians will assist senior archaeologists and historians. 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 (we usually schedule work hours a few weeks ahead of time), 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).
