About the Role
The Historic Site Coordinator will work directly with the Community Engagement Manager for the development, liaising, and administering of historic site redevelopment, as well as the creation and delivery of community programming. This role supports program delivery of special events and audience engagement efforts and includes supervisory duties for seasonal student positions and volunteers supporting the Community Engagement department, with assistance/mentorship from the Community Engagement Manager. As time permits the coordinator will also attend to the general operations of the site, including daily operations, site maintenance, interpretive programs, historical tours, and visitor services. This project is an ideal opportunity for a recent graduate as it will focus on the asset management of a culturally/historically significant site including the development of novel programming and asset use strategies, which are invaluable work skills in cultural and historic spaces. As this role also has a focus on public relations, important community engagement skills will also be developed. We are also working on expanding our use of Traditional Ecological Knowledge in partnership with Indigenous knowledgekeepers and elders from the Autonomous Sinixt.
All staff assist with the opening, operating, maintenance, and closing procedures associated with daily operations.
