Job Summary
We are seeking a dedicated Archaeologist to join our team in qathet (Powell River), supporting cultural heritage projects, excavations, and data analysis initiatives. This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the archaeological record of Coastal BC.
About Us
Did you know that we approach cultural resource management differently? Here are just a few of the key differences that make being an archaeologist with In Situ a unique and fulfilling experience:
~ our mandate is to put consultation first. Prioritizing consultation means that we don't take on projects without the support of affected First Nations.
~ our firm operates year-round. Archaeology is typically considered seasonal employment but operating in Coastal BC comes with mild winters that allow for year-round scheduling.
~ we don't compartmentalize staff into segmented roles unless you want to focus in a particular area that you enjoy. At In Situ, we believe that supporting our team in finding the areas of work that they really enjoy makes for better science and more job satisfaction. As an archaeologist at In Situ you'll have the chance to do it all or just the parts you love!
~ we stay local. One of our key missions is to bring value to the communities in which we live and work. Staying local means few remote shifts, but also means you'll have the chance to learn about and apply valuable community knowledge to studies, and contribute to the overall understanding of the archaeological record of the Coast.
