Project Supervisor (Grade 2.2)

Due to our ongoing and upcoming projects and workload, we are looking to appoint a Project Supervisor on a permanent basis, subject to the successful completion of a three-month probationary period.

You will be supervising teams of experienced archaeologists and trainees on a variety of projects, primarily based out of our head office in Lincoln, for fieldwork projects across the UK, but with a particular focus in the East Midlands and East Anglia.

This a great opportunity to develop your career within a busy and dynamic company, working as part of a dedicated and passionate team. From our head office in the thriving and affordable historic cathedral city, a stone's throw from the seaside and the spectacular scenery of the Lincolnshire Wolds, there are plenty of reasons to consider a job in Lincoln. With affordable housing, great schools and excellent transport links, we are ideally situated for reaching all of the UK. This is an excellent opportunity for those wishing to relocate or perhaps have a change in career direction. Whatever the reason, you will find Lincolnshire and Allen Archaeology to be a welcoming and diverse place to live and work.
