The role
We are looking for a field archaeologist to be based in Carlisle to support our growing portfolio of projects in the region. Ideally, we are looking for archaeologists with at least 3 months of site experience in commercial archaeology, but we will also consider graduates and applicants with equivalent alternative experience and qualifications.
You will work as part of our wider team, and you could be based on a variety of sites including large scale evaluations and excavations. The work may also include working on geophysics projects if you have experience or are willing to learn. You should understand paper-based field recording systems and some experience with digital recording systems would also be desirable but not essential.
Applicants must be flexible over travel and hours as we work on sites across the UK. Our management team understands the benefit of having local archaeologists work on local sites, both from the archaeological and environmental standpoint, and as such we endeavour to offer our staff work close to their home base wherever possible. Due to the nature of the work, a full driving licence and access to a car are required. We offer an excellent subsistence package in addition to travel allowance and single occupancy accommodation. Plus pay/TOIL for work carried out during unsocial hours (10pm – 6am). For permanent staff, when not on site, you will be expected to attend the office on a hybrid basis, for full-time staff this is 3 days out of 5.
