Archaeology and Heritage Consultant/Senior

The Opportunity

Our Archaeology and Heritage Team is looking for an Archaeology and Heritage Consultant or Senior Consultant to join the Team in either Cheltenham or Cirencester to help us deliver our expanding portfolio of interesting, diverse and challenging projects.

Who are EDP?

The Environmental Dimension Partnership Ltd (EDP) is a highly regarded and successful multi-disciplinary environmental planning consultancy undertaking projects across the country from our offices in Cardiff, Cirencester and Cheltenham.

EDP is the place to build your career, where we seek to identify, nurture and develop experts through involvement in challenging and rewarding projects. We place significant value on our EDP Team and we are extremely proud of the culture and brand we have built and are continuing to build on. As a result, we have exceptional staff retention across our three offices.

The Role

If you are applying to be an Archaeology and Heritage Consultant at EDP, you will have experience of archaeological fieldwork and a proven track record in the production and completion of reports relating to the planning process i.e. desk-based assessments, heritage setting assessments and written schemes of investigation. You will also provide technical project support to the wider EDP Archaeology and Heritage team.

If you are applying to be a Senior Archaeology and Heritage Consultant at EDP you will have all of the above, but additionally demonstrable experience in a consultancy environment and across a range of project types and scales.

For both roles the enthusiasm to get involved with multi-disciplinary projects is essential, but also the desire to work effectively with our clients, project managers and members of the EDP Team. Most of all, you will provide (with training as necessary) solution-focused and pragmatic advice to our clients on a wide variety of archaeology and heritage projects and deliver high quality technical outputs to inform and support a range of development proposals.

This is an excellent opportunity for the right candidate to develop their professional skills, project management and technical ability by working within the wider EDP team.

Your Skills

You will have a sound professional reputation and be conscious of the need to develop a diverse network of contacts; showing energy, enthusiasm and excellent client care skills to advance your professional reputation and create your own portfolio of projects.

The successful candidate will be positive, proactive, client focussed, and be committed to maintaining their expertise through internal and external training and research and ideally be at least an Associate member of CIfA.

We will always invest in our team, and we have excellent learning and development opportunities to help you grow and develop personally and professionally. This includes an extensive internal training programme to expand your knowledge of our multi-disciplinary projects and roles within these.

EDP Benefits

The salary for this post is to be agreed based on qualifications and experience and will form part of an excellent benefits package, including 5% employer pension contributions; private health insurance; life assurance; 30 days annual leave (plus Bank Holidays and birthday holiday); TOIL system; hybrid and flexible working, a profit share bonus scheme; carbon offsetting for every employee; and many more!
