As an Archaeology Project/Program Manager at ICF you will help deliver and continue to grow our Cultural Resources Management (CRM) services for existing clients.

You will also be expected to contribute to marketing and proposal efforts for cultural resources opportunities or as part of a larger team on multi-disciplinary opportunities.
