Wages are commensurate with the position and experience of the applicant. SCS is an equal opportunity employer. The goal is to hire an applicant seeking to remain long term in the SCS Oahu workforce.
The desired applicant shall have a minimum of a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree in anthropology (specialization in archaeology) with at least two years of archaeological fieldwork conducting archaeological inventory surveys, data recovery work, and construction monitoring in the State of Hawaii.
The following shall also be considered:
