Project Archaeologist
We are seeking a skilled Project Archaeologist to support the successful delivery of archaeological investigations across a varied programme of development and heritage projects. This role will involve contributing to projects from initial planning and desk-based assessment through to fieldwork, post-excavation analysis and reporting. You will work closely with archaeologists, heritage specialists, consultants, contractors and clients to ensure that archaeological risks are identified, managed and communicated effectively.
Key responsibilities will include preparing and reviewing archaeological documentation; undertaking and supervising surveys, evaluations, excavations, watching briefs and other fieldwork; recording archaeological remains and finds in accordance with professional standards; coordinating site teams and monitoring progress, quality and health and safety; and maintaining accurate project records. You will also contribute to research, data interpretation, assessment of finds and environmental material, preparation of technical reports, and the development of mitigation strategies. Where required, you may support consultations with planning authorities, curators and other stakeholders, as well as assist with project scheduling, budgets and resource planning.
Applicants should have a degree or equivalent qualification in archaeology, practical experience of commercial or development-led archaeology, and a sound understanding of relevant legislation, guidance and professional standards. Experience of leading fieldwork, supervising staff, producing written reports and working with archaeological databases and recording systems is desirable. You should be organised, adaptable and confident working both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. Strong written and verbal communication skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to safe, ethical and high-quality archaeological practice are essential. A full driving licence and willingness to travel to project sites may be required. In return, this role offers the opportunity to work on varied and engaging projects while developing your technical, project management and professional skills.
