Job description

At WestLand, we are each driven by our own purposes and aspirations. We are encouraged to develop our own unique skills while also growing our business. For some, it's envisioning the lives of tribal ancestors as told by the artifacts uncovered on their lands. For others, there's no greater meaning than being in the field collecting data on flora or fauna. For our engineers and architects, it may be the pride in seeing a design come to life or solving a complex problem while navigating the complexities of environmental and permitting requirements. What unites us all, however, is our commitment to our clients and to each other.
WestLand is large enough to provide a wide range of opportunities for career growth yet nimble enough for you to forge your own unique business and professional path. We pride ourselves on an inclusive environment where talented and creative individuals work together on unique and inspiring projects, bringing innovative solutions to our clients. Make a difference with us at WestLand!

What will I be doing?
  • Leading and coordinating archaeological fieldwork (field survey, testing, monitoring, and data recovery excavations).

  • Processing and cataloging artifacts and other materials to lab specifications.
  • Filing and scanning records and paperwork.
  • Completing record searches and writing technical reports.

What qualifications are required for this role?
  • A graduate degree in Archaeology, Anthropology, or related field. An undergraduate degree in Archaeology, Anthropology, or related field AND additional years of experience may substitute for a graduate degree.
  • A minimum of two years supervisory experience as a cultural resource professional in the American Southwest.
  • Previous experience working in Northern Arizona required.
  • Previous experience writing technical archaeological reports.
  • Ability to conduct fieldwork for long hours in a desert environment featuring extreme temperatures, rough terrain, and potential high altitudes.
  • Ability to travel for work, often on short notice and for extended periods (paid drive time, per diem and hotel provided).
  • Ability to work as a member of a cohesive team.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced and creative environment.

The hourly rate range for this position is $30.00 - $39.00 per hour.
What does WestLand offer you?
  • A comprehensive benefits package that includes 9 holidays, healthcare benefits, paid time off (PTO), and 401k matching for full time employees. Flexible work schedules and remote/hybrid possibilities are available for most roles.
  • A multidisciplinary environment where projects are unique, creative, and challenging! A place where you can develop your own vision of clientele and projects, and where you get to work with our industry leaders daily!
  • An environment where you are set up for success! With two-way mentorship, financial incentives to publish your work, and tuition reimbursement for ongoing educational support, we have you covered! In addition, WestLand has developed a career-path structure to assist you in reaching those next steps in your career!
