Western Heritage (WH) is looking for a leader to manage our operations in Manitoba. The position would be based out of Winnipeg. In addition to staff and office management, we are looking for candidates who want to lead and grow the business. WH's executive management team is drawn from our office managers.
Established in 1990, WH is a employee owned company that provides services in the area of archaeology (including geophysics), GIS and Imagery Interpretation, UAV surveys using Lidar and optical surveys, and software development, including our Environmental Footprint Monitoring system. Currently the company has offices in St Albert, Calgary, and Saskatoon and wishes to expand our operations in Winnipeg.
Ideally the successful candidate should have some experience in working with the industries we serve (forestry, oil and gas, mining and Hydro). We would prefer an archaeological permit holder (MA degree) but we would consider candidates with backgrounds in GIS or Environmental Studies with a focus on reclamation. Indigenous applicants with a degree in Native Studies or a similar background would also be considered.
The ideal candidate should have good interpersonal skills and some experience in managing staff. Good phone communication skills are also a plus, even though texting and emails are used extensively in communicating with customers. Office Managers are expected to lead business development efforts for their office and therefore they must be able to meet face to face with customers. In addition, the office manager needs to be able to communicate with regulators, WH's executive, and to work collaboratively with the other office managers to meet corporate objectives. Finally, we do expect office managers to be able to undertake limited field studies to keep their skills current.
Quality Management and Safety are important parts of the WH brand. The ideal candidate would be able to fully integrate into this programs.
Compensation is dependent on experience.. The successful candidate will be offered the opportunity to receive and purchase shares in WH. As a leader and shareholder you can have a significant voice in the future direction of WH.

Anthropologists are finding that women in modern foraging societies have played a major role in catching game.
It's always important to make some time for fun while working out of town! When we're not digging holes, we're working on our putting game ⛳️
During our fieldwork, we take the opportunity to document any exposures we may come across. In this example, the team made use of an old aggregate test pit to record the stratigraphy of the landform they were surveying. With the section all cleaned up and looking fresh, we can gain a better understanding of depositional processes as well as demonstrate that we are assessing to the depth of the sediments that have the highest potential to contain artifacts in our shovel tests. We can therefore eliminate any uncertainty in our regulatory reviews and provide cost savings to our clients by receiving our regulatory approvals faster. A win win for everyone!
Had a great time hosting summer students from Canfor Grande Prairie! We teamed up to complete an archaeological assessment and got the opportunity to showcase daily life as an archaeologist. We were also lucky enough to learn a little bit more about the many different roles within Canfor's forestry operations. It was fantastic to work with everyone and we can't wait to do it again!
