Role

As a Project Supervisor or Project Officer, you will play an important role in delivering projects from set-up through to completion, with opportunities to be involved in site delivery, supervision, recording, survey, reporting and publication.

• You will work across a range of projects, from smaller evaluations through to large infrastructure schemes, and will be expected to work effectively both as part of a team and independently.
• Although the role is based within our Milton Keynes team, occasional travel and working away from home will be required, depending on project requirements. This provides the opportunity to work on a wider range of projects across the region and further afield.
• Accommodation and subsistence will be provided where applicable in line with AOC’s policies.

We are looking for people who are enthusiastic about archaeology, take pride in the quality of their work and enjoy working collaboratively with others. For Project Officers, there will also be opportunities to take greater responsibility for the management and delivery of projects, including supervising teams and supporting reporting and publication.

We are committed to developing our staff. You will have support from experienced senior colleagues and access to training and development opportunities, with progression supported through AOC’s Job Aspiration Matrix.

For the Project Officer role, experience of managing and delivering large-scale archaeological projects or survey programmes would be particularly advantageous.
