About The Position

Arcadis is seeking an entry-level Archaeologist to support environmental planning projects (e.g., linear infrastructure projects) within California. Assignments may, on occasion, include work outside of California. In this role, you will conduct archaeological field work for projects at all levels of investigation, including survey, testing excavation and evaluation, site recording, and construction monitoring. In this role, you will also be responsible for preparing technical reports and related documentation. The successful applicant will work collaboratively with a diverse, multidisciplinary team across the U.S. The assignments require excellent time and workload management skills to successfully contribute to a fast-paced and dynamic program. Arcadis offers a flexible working environment and follows a hybrid work structure. A successful candidate can expect to work remotely and from the office, as needed, based on demands of project and client teams. The ability to travel to various project sites, including overnight travel, will be required (field work expectations may be up to, and occasionally exceed, approximately 50%). As a Consultant with Arcadis, you will be a key member to drive innovation and build strong technical communities within the Enviro Socio Permitting practice. This is an excellent opportunity to work with a dynamic team and gain experience in a variety of environmental projects, focusing mainly on utility infrastructure, but you will also work with existing staff to support the growth of specific client accounts within California. Your career growth will only be limited by your skills and your passion for success!
