  • Prepare a high standard of written advice and have highly developed skills in technical report writing.
About You:
  • You hold tertiary qualifications in Archaeology, Cultural Heritage Management and/or Anthropology.
  • You have proven experience, ideally gained in a consultancy environment within the heritage industry.
  • Ideally, you possess advanced skills in preparing Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Survey Reports, Archaeological Management Plans and Strategies, Aboriginal Heritage Due Diligence Assessments, and Cultural Heritage Management Plans.
  • You've worked closely with Aboriginal communities. Experience in Southwest and Wheatbelt areas of Western Australia is a plus.
  • High proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite (including but not limited to Word, PowerPoint and Excel).
What We Offer:

As a member of our team, you will have the benefit of working in a truly flexible workplace, while maintaining strong client support and engagement. You will also have access to active mentorship, development of career goals, and support in achieving them.

We invest in ongoing training, with all employees provided with an annual training budget. You will also have opportunities to partake in internal and external networking and social events across the State and Nationally.
