  • Support Field Supervisors and provide assistance where needed.
  • Participate in a team environment providing support to other field technicians and assisting with field activities as required.
  • Maintain a high standard of ethical and professional behavior and demonstrate a "Safety First" focus.
  • Work outdoors in a wide variety of weather and ground conditions.

The Skills That Set You Apart
  • Ability to work daily at field site locations and enjoy fieldwork in a team environment.
  • Willingness and ability to perform physically demanding tasks (e.g., hand shoveling, troweling, screening soil), work outdoors for long days in rough terrain and harsh elements, and lift up to 40 lbs.
  • Good interpersonal and communication skills to share information and concerns with Field Supervisors.
  • Ability to work well as part of a team or independently when required.
  • Ability to travel and work on out-of-town projects (hotel stays), as required.
  • A valid Ontario driver's license and clean driver's abstract; reliable transportation to and from designated project sites or office meet spots.
  • Knowledge of archaeological artifacts is considered an asset.
  • Bachelor's Degree in Archaeology, Anthropology or related field considered an asset.
  • One (1) field season of archaeological experience in Ontario, including shovel testing and test unit excavation, considered an asset.
