Archaeological Research Services Ltd is recruiting a Senior Geomatics Officer to join our Fieldwork Department.
Applications are invited for a highly motivated and proficient geomatics officer, experienced in surveying, GIS and spatial data integration, articulation and visualisation within archaeology. Ideally the successful candidate will have experience undertaking in-field survey and recording and combining it with other remote sensing data such as that from Lidar, HER records, BGS data and satellite imagery within a GIS environment. Experience with drone survey, with an accompanying drone license, is welcomed, and if not a willingness to be trained. We are looking for a professional and capable geomatics specialist backed up with previous archaeological fieldwork experience so that they can both run and oversee site survey, taking the data from capture through to publication and archiving.
This post will be based at our Bakewell/Sheffield offices, with travel for surveys, site visits and training as appropriate. A full UK driving license is a must for this role as our work is UK-wide, often in remote locations.
This is a rare opportunity that provides the opportunity to use state of the art equipment with high-resolution datasets at your fingertips, working within an innovative, supportive and forward-thinking team. There will also be the opportunity to undertake landscape surveys, walkover surveys, topographical surveys, as well as other survey applications.
A thorough knowledge of British archaeology is helpful and the ability to ‘make sense’ of remote-sensing data of various kinds within a GIS environment. You must be able to work as an effective team member who can be relied on to deliver to deadlines. We are a high performing company with a professional and friendly culture, many outstanding performers and a committed management team with an open door policy. We maintain a high commitment to staff development and training and look forward to supporting career development and developing people to be the best they can be.
In return, we offer an exciting range of employee benefits:
- Competitive salary
- Bonus scheme linked to achieving Company performance targets
- Attractive Company pension contribution
- Life assurance cover
- Sector-leading commitment to training and career progression
- Member of the Company’s health cash plan which includes a wide range of health services and financial support
