requires PPE (protective equipment). Projects entail work from
scaffolding and involve non-typical apparatus. This will necessitate
knowledge of scaffolding and equipment, or a willingness to be

types of specialized training.  Our work requires us to bring the
conservation lab to the site: Candidates with the ability to perform
detailed and objective conservation, who also possess the energy and
agility necessary for physically demanding site work, are likely to
excel. Applications are being accepted into July, 2012, with a
