The Opportunity
Are you ready to take the next step in your archaeology and heritage career? We're seeking an enthusiastic and skilled professional to join our friendly and well-established team in either Cheltenham or Cirencester. You’ll play a key role in delivering our expanding portfolio of diverse, challenging, and rewarding projects across the UK.
Who are EDP?
We’re The Environmental Dimension Partnership Ltd but most people know us as EDP. We’re a highly regarded environmental planning and design consultancy with a reputation for delivering a high-quality service for our clients.
We’re proud of our welcoming culture (The EDP Way), which promotes a diverse and inclusive workplace where every member of the team contributes, and we all individually have a role to play.
Whatever we do – whether we’re focusing on development or the environment – we make it our business to create positive change, for our people, our clients and the places we help to shape. For example, as well as seeking to make a difference at a project level, we offset the personal carbon footprint of everyone within the team.
The Role
Whether you're applying as a Consultant or stepping into a Senior role, you’ll bring experience in archaeological fieldwork and strong reporting skills tied to the planning process (e.g. desk-based assessments, setting assessments, WSIs).
As a Consultant, you'll support our team across a variety of projects, providing pragmatic, solution-focused advice. As a Senior Consultant, you'll bring proven consultancy experience, especially around heritage setting, and confidently lead on heritage and archaeology projects of varying scope and complexity.
In both roles, you’ll work closely with multidisciplinary teams, project managers, and clients, while developing your technical capabilities and gaining exposure to exciting new challenges.
We encourage applications from individuals seeking flexible, hybrid working arrangements (we do require regular office attendance) and promote a culture where balance and well-being matter.

- Strong client focus and a proactive mindset.
- A solid professional reputation and growing industry network.

Learning & Development
We’ll always invest in our people and have excellent learning and development opportunities for all our Team Members. This includes an extensive internal training programme to expand knowledge of our multi-disciplinary projects and roles within these. So, you can be confident you’ll grow and develop both personally and professionally when you join us.

- Competitive salary (DOE).
