Are you ready to take your archaeology and heritage career to the next level?

I''m working with a respected multidisciplinary environmental consultancy looking to strengthen its Archaeology & Heritage team with an experienced consultant who wants to work on varied, meaningful projects across the UK.

  • Designing and overseeing archaeological fieldwork and site investigations.
  • Working with planners, heritage specialists, local authorities and project teams.

  • Confidence communicating with stakeholders and collaborating across disciplines.

  • A full UK driving licence.

Experience in areas such as built heritage, historic landscape assessment, Scheduled Monument surveys, GIS or geoarchaeology would be a bonus.

Join a collaborative, multidisciplinary team working across environmental, engineering and heritage projects, with opportunities to develop your technical expertise, mentor colleagues and progress your career.

Expect a supportive working culture, professional development opportunities and the flexibility of a hybrid working arrangement.
