On a personal level, you will learn and develop, and our goal is to aid your career progression and increase your job satisfaction.

Playing an important role in our highly integrated Archaeology and Heritage team, depending on your experience and skills you may undertake client liaison, negotiation with LPA archaeological/heritage advisors, project management, risk analysis, data searches, research, mapping and archaeology and heritage screening and desk-based assessments for a wide range of schemes. You will undertake and be part of the provision of high-quality historic environment consultancy advice and formulation of archaeological and heritage site mitigation strategies for small through to nationally important schemes. The scope of your work will vary greatly with new challenges presenting themselves regularly.
