Archaeological Field Technicians On-Call
ICF International - Austin, TX
posted 4 days ago
About the position
ICF seeks On-Call Field Archaeologists to assist with survey and excavation field work throughout Texas and Oklahoma. 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 (along as their outside work does not create a conflict of interest with the work they do for ICF).
