  • Experience with field technologies (GPS, GIS applications, mapping tools)

  • Driver's License Required: This position requires a valid driver's license and/or the ability to operate a company vehicle due to the nature of job duties, which include frequent travel to various client locations across a large geographical area.

  • Knowledge of prehistoric and historic artifact assemblages

  • Experience with historic structures
