Join MOLA and help uncover the past
MOLA is one of the UK's leading archaeology organisations, delivering high-quality commercial archaeology alongside nationally significant research. As an independent education charity, we're passionate about inspiring curiosity about our shared heritage and ensuring that the knowledge we generate is accessible to as wide an audience as possible.
We're looking for enthusiastic Archaeologists to join our growing Stansted field team. If you're passionate about delivering high-quality archaeology and want to develop your skills while working on a diverse range of projects, we'd love to hear from you.
About the role
MOLA continues to grow, and we're recruiting Archaeologists to support a range of exciting commercial projects across Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and occasionally further afield.
Working as part of our field team, you'll excavate and record archaeological remains from a variety of periods and site types, following MOLA's recording standards and procedures. Depending on project requirements, you'll also have opportunities to receive training in GPS survey and recording techniques, as well as contribute to post-excavation work.
This role is based at our Stansted office. Transport between the office and site is provided using MOLA vehicles, and accommodation and subsistence are provided for working away from home in line with MOLA policy.
Training and development
At MOLA, we're committed to investing in our people. We provide mentoring and training at every stage of your career, helping you build your skills, develop specialist expertise and progress within the organisation. We actively encourage internal progression and promotion wherever possible.
What we're looking for
You'll have:
We're particularly keen to hear from archaeologists who hold a full UK driving licence and are willing to drive MOLA vehicles as part of the role. However, this isn't essential, and we welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates.
Start dates
We have start dates available throughout September and October. Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and interviews and offers may be made before the closing date, so we encourage early applications.
