The Vacancy

We are looking for Project Supervisors to join our expanding East of England team as our business continues to grow.

We have a diverse and interesting portfolio of projects across the south and east of England, alongside an expanding client base. Current projects include late prehistoric and Roman settlement sites on the Hertfordshire/Essex border, Roman agricultural settlement in Essex, and prehistoric ritual and Roman settlement in Suffolk.

The role will be based at the MOLA East of England office, with work on project sites as required. A degree of flexibility and willingness to work away from home will therefore be necessary.

Our expertise is increasingly being sought across infrastructure, residential and commercial developments throughout the central, eastern and southern counties.

We are keen to hear from experienced archaeologists looking to take the next step in their career and take on greater responsibility for the delivery of archaeological projects.

THE ROLE

The Project Supervisor will have responsibility for the day-to-day delivery of small to medium-sized projects, primarily involving fieldwork, post-excavation analysis, reporting and publication. These will include excavations, evaluations, survey work and building recording.

The role will also involve contributing to larger-scale schemes as part of a team led by a Project Officer, with responsibility for specific areas of work or tasks within the archaeological team.

The successful candidate will have extensive and relevant experience in commercial archaeology, along with good organisational skills and the ability to work to fixed timescales and deadlines. They will be confident in both written and verbal communication and able to liaise effectively with colleagues, clients and planning archaeologists.

A full, clean driving licence is essential, as regular travel will be required.

MOLA is committed to mentoring and training staff at all levels, helping individuals develop their skills and build their careers. There are opportunities for internal progression and promotion, as well as the chance to develop specialist skills.

MOLA will provide successful candidates with the training required for the role, including SSSTS, First Aid, Cat and Genny, GS6 and Banksman training.
