About the Role

Our Archaeology and Historic Building business comprises a highly skilled team focused on providing historic environment consultancy and fieldwork services throughout the planning process from pre-land acquisition to the discharge of planning conditions. As a result of our success in fieldwork services, we are seeking an Operations Coordinator/ Senior Operations Coordinator on a fixed-time (6 month contract) basis.

We are looking for a fieldwork Operations Coordinator to assist with logistics focused on deployment, geomatics, post-excavation and archives. This is a hybrid home and office-based role and the location of the positions can be flexible, but it is expected that the successful candidates will be based out of either our Romsey, Boxworth or Derby offices. The successful candidates will join a team of professionals who work closely with colleagues in other disciplines, such as Ecology, Planning and Landscape. Immediate appointments will be available.

The positions would best suit ambitious and highly motivated individuals with strong communications and time management skills who are looking to advance their career in commercial archaeology and client relationship management.

Successful candidates will work flexibly on a wide variety of archaeological, geoarchaeological and environmental consultancy contracts in a fast moving, client focussed commercial environment.

We will offer a competitive salary, excellent training and personal development opportunities. Although these positions will be predominantly field-based, we will be happy to consider flexible working options if required.

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.
