We are looking for people to join us who are passionate about delivering quality heritage services and about using archaeology as a force for good to benefit society as a whole.

The role primarily involves excavating and recording archaeology of various periods on a range of site and project types, in line with MOLA procedures.

We have start dates available immediately - offers will be made to suitable candidates before the closing date, so early applications are advised!

We are looking for people with:

  • Use or knowledge of archaeological recording systems
  • Experience of archaeological fieldwork, especially on commercial projects and even better if that experience includes urban sites
  • Good organisational, communication and teamwork skills
  • A commitment to creating a safe, positive and inclusive work environment

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
