Bureau of Reclamation is looking to fill multiple positions throughout the interior Pacific Northwest
The Bureau of Reclamation is looking to fill multiple positions throughout the interior Pacific Northwest. Please see our job listings on USAJOBS for multiple GS-11/12 archeologist positions at offices throughout the interior Pacific Northwest:
Announcement Open: 01/17/2025 to 01/31/2025
BOR-CPN-25-DE-12671748-AV [usajobs.gov]: Open to U.S. Citizens and U.S. Nationals.
BOR-CPN-25-MP-12671749-AV [usajobs.gov]: Open to current Federal employees serving under competitive service career or career-conditional appointments, former Federal employees with reinstatement eligibility, persons eligible under CTAP & ICTAP, current or former time-limited employees eligible under the Land Management Workforce Flexibility Act, VEOA-eligible veterans, or persons eligible for non-competitive appointment under special appointing authorities (such as VRA, 30% Disabled Veterans, Schedule A, Peace Corps, AmeriCorps VISTA, etc.).
We’re looking for at least 4 qualified candidates for positions at Reclamation’s Columbia Cascades Area Office (Yakima, Washington), CPN Region Office (Boise, Idaho), Grand Coulee Power Office (Grand Coulee, Washington), and Upper Snake Field Office (Heyburn, Idaho). If we get a large batch of qualified candidates, we’re likely to hire even more due to our volume of upcoming work.
Much of the workload for these positions will focus on compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. You’ll be working with project proponents and consulting parties to define the area of potential effects, develop a plan for identifying and evaluating potential historic properties, and developing ways to resolve adverse effects. This Section 106 work is often done in coordination with the National Environmental Policy Act. The archeologists are contributing members to multidisciplinary teams considering the impacts of projects on the natural and cultural environment. CPN Region gives special attention to compliance with the Native American Graves Protection & Repatriation Act, working closely with tribes to address discoveries of ancestral remains and to repatriate cultural items. We also have a substantial collection of museum property that includes over 250,000 items from archaeological and paleontological sites throughout the region. Some of these collections are the subject of substantial scientific interest, giving CPN Region a chance to participate in ongoing research.
The diversity of the work is one of my favorite parts of working for Reclamation. The current staff works on the following kinds of projects:
- tribally led studies of reintroducing salmon above Grand Coulee Dam;
- grants for the upgrade of waste water handling projects in Eastern Washington;
- considering how changes in the Columbia River Treaty with Canada are likely to affect archeological resources, traditional cultural places, and the built environment;
- working closely with irrigation districts as they develop ways to upgrade aging infrastructure and use water more efficiently; and
- many, many more.
If you have questions about these positions, please look at the announcements on USAJOBS. You can also reach out to CPN Region’s Human Resources Office at bor-sha-cpnjobs@usbr.gov. Closing date for applications is Jan. 31, 2025.
