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 a Project Technician on a fixed-time (6-month contract) basis.
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.
About the Role
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-focused commercial environment.
