We would love to talk to you as we have an opportunity for you to join our team of Cultural Heritage specialists to develop your experience to the next level, working on a range of truly diverse
projects.

We are a collaborative team, from early career archaeologists to highly experienced industry leaders with a diverse blend of backgrounds including academia, public sector, and consulting.

At EMM, we believe that a sustainable future is achievable, and we proactively pursue opportunities to help our clients and the community make it a reality. Our dedicated team of multi-disciplinary
environmental professionals are committed to driving positive change through innovation, collaboration and out-of-the-box thinking.

We were incredibly proud to be recognised once again this year as the Best Provider of ESG Services: Built & Natural Environment Consulting in the 2026 Client Choice Awards.

  • You’ll play a key role in providing leadership and mentorship to develop our bright and ambitious early career archaeologists
  • You will be surrounded by a supportive team and have the autonomy, flexibility and support you need to balance all aspects of your life
  • With offices across Australia; you will be able to enjoy flexible and hybrid working at its best

Here’s what you will bring to have impact:

  • A relevant tertiary degree in archaeology
  • A minimum of 4-8 years archaeological consulting experience in Aboriginal heritage management; striking a good
    balance for both field and reporting skills
  • A passion for mentoring and growing successful teams, and/or collaborating with early career archaeologists
  • Exceptional reporting and quality assurance skills, underpinned by robust knowledge of NSW state legislation
  • A current valid unrestricted drivers’ license and Construction Industry Safety Induction (White Card)

If you’re looking to be part of a team that values innovation and empowers you to make a real impact, EMM could be the place for you.
