The role:
Are you interested in learning more about Oregon and applying your skills in historic preservation and studying our urban and rural landscapes? We are seeking an intern to work on a variety of transportation-related projects and initiatives under the guidance of our skilled professionals. Our Cultural Resources Program seeks to strike a balance between a growing transportation system and the protection of Oregon's significant cultural history. Come join our team – we’re looking for someone with an eagerness to learn from us while advancing their ability to work efficiently while managing a variety of projects.
This position is anticipated to be six months full time, with the possibility of part-time work (20+ hrs./week) for the right candidate. Those who are able to work full time may be given preference.

A day in the life:
- Conduct project delivery-related tasks involving the Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) and maintenance, state-funded and local agency initiatives.
- Research and evaluate historic resources throughout the state, primarily remotely.
