Archaeologist (on call)

About the role

This is a project‑based, on‑call, part‑time‑as‑needed (PTAN) position. Arcadis is seeking entry‑level Archaeologists to support environmental planning projects (e.g., linear infrastructure projects) within Ohio and surrounding states. In this role, you will conduct archaeological field work for multiple projects and at all levels of investigation, from site identification to data recovery, and archaeological monitoring. You will work on projects that require shovel testing, pedestrian surveys, excavation, and site documentation. This role is currently a part‑time as needed field position. This position will require a candidate to work collaboratively with the Arcadis cultural resources team. Arcadis offers a flexible working environment and follows a hybrid work structure.
