Assistant & Supervisor Geophysicists

Geophysicists Opportunities

Due to the recent success of Cura Terrae Land and Nature, formerly Ecus, in the geophysical survey team, and several larger tender awards, there is capacity to expand our geophysical survey team.

As a Geophysical Survey Operative, you will undertake day‑to‑day activities on site for our geophysical survey projects. Your responsibilities include ensuring the survey fieldwork data yield meets the required rate for each site, using our bespoke in‑house hand‑pushed or quad‑towed cart‑based system. You will also be assigned to data processing, interpretation and reporting as needed and play an integral role in training junior staff.

We are looking for at least 2 years’ experience in the Geophysics, Archaeology and/or Heritage Sector(s). You’ll have a degree in Geophysics, Archaeology, or a related subject and be a proficient and competent geophysical surveyor, preferably with experience of successfully supervising teams on site and undertaking geophysical survey interpretation. You’ll hold a full UK manual driving licence and be willing to drive Caddy, Transit or Long Wheel Base size vehicles.

You’ll have some knowledge and/or experience of the Geophysics, Archaeology and/or Heritage Sector(s) and a willingness to learn and develop an appropriate skillset for undertaking geophysical survey using a cart‑based hand‑pushed or quad‑towed system. You’ll ideally have a full UK manual driving licence and desire to drive Caddy, Transit or Long Wheel Base size vehicles. A relative degree in Archaeology, Geophysics, or a related subject is advantageous, as well as an ambition to pursue a career in geophysics.

Both roles will require you to work outdoors in all weathers and away from home where required. Additional training is also offered.
