A little more about your role…

The Cultural Heritage and Archaeology team is one of the largest heritage consultancies in the country. It works across the UK and Ireland and covers all aspects of the historic environment (archaeology, built heritage, setting and design) throughout the full lifecycle of projects. We provide our clients with expert advice on an ever-increasing portfolio of heritage related enquiries that address the management of change in our historic environment. We work on high profile and large‑scale infrastructure projects in the UK, Ireland and further afield as part of a multi‑disciplinary team and aim to deliver high quality work while contributing to innovative approaches and challenges within the heritage sector.

What we will be looking for you to demonstrate…

We are seeking a Principal Consultant to join our Cultural Heritage and Archaeology Team in London.

You will be responsible for the management and delivery of archaeology projects in the South East of the country, principally fieldwork projects. The role is key to our heritage team’s development and will require the combination of high level technical expertise and knowledge of archaeology and heritage with commercial and business acumen.

You will be expected to lead fieldwork projects from planning and other consent applications and deliver bespoke archaeological strategies and works for developments and infrastructure. Much of your work will need to be able to withstand the test of public inquiry. Preferably, you will have a specialism, skill or area of knowledge that contributes to the development of the team and our wider business. You will have a strong awareness of Health and Safety and risk management, in particular on fieldwork projects.

Not only will you have a track record of successful project delivery, strong communication skills and the ability to develop and maintain excellent relationships with a range of clients and peers, you will have the drive and imagination to identify and pursue business development and marketing opportunities. You will be based in either the Cambridge or Bristol offices and will be active in promoting and diversifying the team service offering, and winning work from internal and external clients.

  • Monitoring and assuring the work of one of our WSP‑approved fieldwork subcontractors, both on‑site and in the technical review of deliverables, including RAMS.
  • Preparing competitive tenders and designing the scope and methodology for archaeological fieldwork in accordance with WSP Health and Safety protocols and requirements.
  • Producing or contributing to archaeological desk‑based assessment.
  • Undertaking stakeholder, curator and client liaison.

What we will be looking for you to demonstrate…

  • Experience of archaeological fieldwork project management (project, financial and staff management).
  • Robust knowledge of Ireland archaeology and history and also full knowledge of the planning process and relevant environmental / heritage legislation and guidance.
  • Experience in most or all of the following areas: heritage and planning, masterplanning, heritage conservation, heritage led‑regeneration, recreation and tourism, heritage sustainability masterplanning, placemaking, multi‑disciplinary collaboration and business development.
  • Excellent writing skills, and are a good communicator and team player.
  • A highly motivated, conscientious and efficient approach to work, and are able to meet deadlines and budget within a busy consultancy environment.
