The Operations Manager is key to our business success, and you will be expected to proactively seek new opportunities and maintain existing client and professional relationships. Your role will include pricing and overseeing contracts and you will have responsibility for managing the operational programme and resourcing. You would work to the highest professional standards, and we would expect you to have sufficient experience and knowledge to provide high-level professional advice to our clients across a range of different archaeological and heritage projects.
You will need a good knowledge of planning legislation as it relates to heritage, construction contracts, QHSE and current professional practice. The Operations Manager line manages the Archaeological Managers.
