Scientific Officer / Senior Scientific Officer

Archaeological Research Services Ltd in Bakewell / Sheffield
£25,440 – £36,000
Apply before: 31/10/2024

Archaeological Research Services Ltd are recruiting for a Scientific Officer / Senior Scientific Officer for unique and rare positions to work in a leading archaeological company with varied and innovative projects around the UK and potentially beyond.

Our ‘Specialist Services’ division within the Company is recruiting for a Senior Scientific Officer and Scientific Officer. We are looking to attract capable team members, ideally with specialist knowledge and experience, who are willing to learn other techniques and to map and analyse multiple landscape-scale data sets.

Do you have a passion for landscape archaeology/geospatial and scientific data, innovation, and delivering value through archaeology? Are you highly organised, efficient, and willing to undertake field data capture as well as office-based data analysis and reporting? This position requires attention to detail, and for the senior role, an established specialism (e.g., geophysics, geochemistry, aerial mapping, and interpretation) and effective management skills. You need to be disciplined and competent in scientific applications that could include geophysics, geochemistry, geomatics, UAV piloting and processing, and fluency in GIS. The post is nominally based out of our offices in Sheffield or Bakewell, with site-based fieldwork and office working, and some home-working flexibility. Applications are invited for professional, highly motivated candidates with a strong track record and developed skill sets. Excellent written English skills are essential, as you will be responsible for completing work on commercial and research-based archaeological projects. The roles require strong survey, illustration, and IT skills, and ideally competency in the use of CAD and/or GIS. A good knowledge of British archaeology is essential, as well as a track record in reports, and ideally publication for the senior role. You must be able to work as an effective team member who can be relied on to deliver to deadlines.

In return, we offer an exciting range of employee benefits:

Strong, positive corporate culture and Management Team
Commitment to training and career progression
Member of the Company’s health cash plan which includes a range of health services
Discounts and rewards on health, fitness, and entertainment
Life assurance cover
28 days annual leave (including Bank Holidays)
