Description
Archaeological Field Technician
POWER Engineers, Inc., one of the nation's strongest energy-related engineering and environmental consultants, is seeking Archaeological Field Technicians for fieldwork on multiple archaeological field projects in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and West Virginia.
These are hourly positions on a project basis; however, future work is eminent. Pay will be determined by education and experience. Single occupancy hotel rooms and per diem are standard.

This position requires the ability to work long hours, in difficult or remote environments, and in varying weather conditions and the ability to work with groups composed of diverse personalities.
