Trainee Archaeologists, Archaeologists, Senior Archaeologists and Project Officers

Requirements

Trainee Archaeologists: no experience necessary although some experience of outdoor working would be useful preparation.

Archaeologists: minimum 6 months commercial experience, CSCS card, PCIfA or equivalent.

Senior Archaeologists, minimum 2 years commercial experience, CSCS card, PCIfA or equivalent.

Project Officers: minimum 5 years commercial experience, CSCS card, ACIfA or equivalent.

We welcome applications from those who do not quite meet these criteria but who feel they are ready to take on a new challenge.

Trainee Archaeologists will be automatically enrolled on our CIfA Approved Training programme, details of which are available on request. We will acknowledge any previous training recorded by a recognised employer or university department so long as it is recorded on a BAJR Skills Passport.

A significant increase in our fieldwork programme means we have an immediate requirement for a range of archaeologists to work on a variety of projects.

It is one of the UK’s longest established commercial contracting organisations having been founded in 1975.
