About these opportunities
We are seeking individuals to work on a wide range of projects and tasks. In the first instance, we are recruiting for a busy spring programme. Following the award of future projects there may be opportunities for contract extensions. Cura Terrae Land and Nature employees are offered opportunities to gain a range of both site- and office-based skills in archaeology and our other environmental disciplines.
We are actively looking for people seeking for a new working environment, a new challenge or greater responsibility, including those with experience in geophysical survey and enthusiasm for such work. We are happy to hear from candidates with a broad and rounded experience and also welcome applications from those early in their career.
About the opportunity…
You’ll ensure all archaeological project work performed meets professional standards in accordance with Company policies and procedures and is legally compliant.
You’ll work independently with instruction and direction from a project lead and be responsible for day-to-day running of site works while supervising small teams.
As an experience supervisor you’ll be keen to invest in trainees to support personal development and knowledge sharing.
You’ll proactively manage workloads to ensure tasks you are responsible for are delivered in accordance with agreed scopes and timescales.
