Archaeologist
We are seeking an experienced Archaeologist to support the investigation, recording, and interpretation of archaeological remains across a range of fieldwork projects. Working as part of a professional team, you will contribute to surveys, evaluations, excavations, watching briefs, and post-excavation activities. The role may involve working in varied environments and requires a strong commitment to professional standards, safe working practices, and the accurate documentation of archaeological evidence.
Your responsibilities will include carrying out fieldwork in accordance with approved project designs and method statements; identifying, excavating, recording, and interpreting archaeological features, deposits, and artefacts; completing context records, site plans, section drawings, photographic records, and digital data; and assisting with the recovery, processing, labelling, and packing of finds and environmental samples. You will prepare clear daily records and site reports, communicate findings to supervisors and project managers, and contribute to the production of technical reports and other project documentation. You may also support research, archive preparation, specialist liaison, and community or public engagement activities where required.
Applicants should have a degree or equivalent qualification in archaeology, heritage, or a related discipline, along with practical experience of archaeological fieldwork. A sound understanding of archaeological methods, legislation, guidance, and health and safety procedures is essential. You should be confident using standard recording systems and digital tools, demonstrate excellent attention to detail, and be able to work effectively both independently and as part of a team. Good written and verbal communication skills, flexibility regarding travel and working conditions, and a willingness to work occasional evenings or weekends are also important. A current driving licence and relevant professional accreditation would be advantageous.
