Current Openings

Lead Archaeologist (IP field Director or IP Permit Holder)

Core is a well-established and rapidly-growing company providing archaeological and heritage consulting services throughout BC’s Kootenay region. We have an established and growing book of clients, including municipalities, provincial and federal infrastructure developers, foresters, miners, and private land developers. We are privileged to live, work, and play within the shared traditional territories of the Ktunaxa and Secwepmc Nations.

To keep up our high level of service and to grow our capacity, we need help! Our ideal human is an experienced Field Director that’s close to permit holding eligibility, but we’re realists. We’d be really thrilled to work with somebody who’s on the way there. This is a permanent, full-time (hourly) position starting as soon as possible. You won’t find a long list of duties here because you’re experienced! You know what’s involved, but you will be expected to take ownership of your projects, and ensure a high level of delivery from start to finish. If you have any questions about the position or the position expectations, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Why you want to work here:

An absolutely stunning region, full of mountain adventures.
Work/life balance - The Kootenays are an outdoorsy person’s dream, and with virtually no extended camp shifts, you’ll have time to enjoy family time, your own bed, and maybe spend some time on that hobby you haven’t had time for in years.
You just love glacial-created landscapes.
You love dogs.
You hate Devil’s Club.
Flexible, small-company culture (but yes, we still live and breathe safety).

Position Location: Cranbrook or Invermere, BC

We want you because you have:

Field Director status in the Interior Plateau region of BC (preference will be given to existing permit holding status), or on track to receive FD status within a year.
Minimum Bachelor’s degree in archaeology or anthropology.
3+ years of archaeological field work experience.
Excellent communication skills (interpersonal, verbal, technical, and non-technical writing).
Strong computer and technology skills (Microsoft 365 suite and field technology).
Valid Class 5 Driver’s Licence.
Curiosity and questions (Bring them on!).

We REALLY want you if you have:

Field Director and/or permit holding status in other regions of BC.
Valid First Aid (OFA 1 or above), Bear Aware, ATV/UTV training, or other applicable workplace training, but we’ll make sure you get them if you don’t.
Experience working in occasionally rugged mountain environments.

Core offers above-industry-average wages ($35-$50/hr, depending on qualifications).

Please send your CV with a cover letter and references to: careers (at)coreheritage.ca This position will remain open until a suitably great team addition has been selected. We thank all applicants for their interest, but only those we think might be an awesome fit with our team will be contacted.
