The mission of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is to provide and protect outstanding natural, scenic, cultural, historic, and recreational sites for the enjoyment and education of present and future generations.

Join our team as a Cultural Resource Analyst, where your decisions carry substantial weight, influencing the state and agency’s relationships with stakeholders and playing a crucial role in preserving our state’s invaluable historic resources. The Cultural Resource Analyst is a subject-matter expert in federal and state cultural resource law and professional historic preservation practice for built environment cultural resources, including buildings, structures, sites, objects, and infrastructure. This position works collaboratively with Tribal governments and federal, state, and local government agencies and their representatives to assist agencies with fulfilling their responsibilities under Section 106 of the 1966 National Historic Preservation Act and Oregon state cultural resource laws. Your expertise will be crucial in identifying significant historic properties and assessing the impact of projects on the unique qualities that make these places special.

Responsibilities include providing timely and professional written guidance and recommendations to partners, active participation in working group meetings, and on-site evaluation of historic properties. You will also represent Oregon on teams to create inter-agency agreements, including Memorandums of Agreement to mitigate adverse impacts on historic properties and Programmatic Agreements that guide an agency’s approach to preserving important places across the state. The Compliance Specialist also leads in creating public education materials, delivering presentations, and spearheading projects focused on assessing, developing, and implementing innovative work processes and systems. Join us in making a meaningful impact on preserving our state’s cultural heritage.
