Position: On-Call Project Archaeologist (Remote)
Description

** On-Call Project Archaeologist (Remote)*
* ** Southeast Region (GA, SC, TN or vicinity)*
* ** About On-Call Employment with ICF*
* 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 (as long as their outside work does not create a conflict of interest with the work they do for ICF).

ICF is currently seeking an On-Call Project Archaeologist to support the growth of our cultural resources practice in the Eastern U.S., especially on energy, transportation, and federal sector projects in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.  Applicants living throughout that region are encouraged to apply.
