Industry

Environmental

At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.

Your impact

We are looking for an experienced Project Archaeologist (Heritage Advisor) with a passion for finding heritage-positive solutions. With a strong pipeline of work across Australia, and particularly in Victoria, we have exciting opportunities to join our team in Melbourne in a permanent role.

Our Jacobs Heritage ANZ team brings together experienced consultants working across Australia in Aboriginal archaeology, historical archaeology, maritime and underwater archaeology, interpretation, and built heritage.

With one of the largest heritage teams in Australia, you’ll be surrounded by a highly experienced cohort of senior professionals who are invested in your growth. Whether you're mentoring juniors or looking for mentorship yourself, this is a place to develop.

We work with federal, state and local government agencies, infrastructure owners, and private sector clients across key Australian markets: transport, water, environment, energy, defence, and the built environment; delivering integrated solutions from strategy and design through to delivery and operations.

We provide heritage advice across many different stages in a project lifecycle – from business case inputs and early design phase considerations, to undertaking assessments for heritage approvals and providing construction phase support.

We love that we have the opportunity to take a phased risk identification approach to our heritage advice and can work collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary team to find solutions that take heritage values, our clients and key stakeholders into consideration.

If you’re interested in a company where you can have:

Diverse and complex project experiences
Cross-discipline exposure
End-to-end project involvement
Real cross-border project experience
Flexible working and genuine work-life balance
Parental leave and salary continuance support
Access to a global network

…then this is the place to broaden your expertise, deepen your impact and build a career that evolves with you!

Here's what you'll need

To succeed in this role, you will bring:

Registration as a Victorian Registered Heritage Advisor, with the qualifications and experience required to lead fieldwork in accordance with the current Minister’s Guidelines; or working towards Heritage Advisor status.
An Honours or postgraduate degree in archaeology, heritage management, or a related discipline.

Approx. 3–6+ years’ consulting experience, with a focus on Aboriginal heritage in Victoria (additional experience outside Victoria and/or in historical heritage is advantageous).
Working knowledge of State and Commonwealth heritage legislation, associated regulations, and guidelines (experience outside Victoria is beneficial).
Experience contributing to Cultural Heritage Management Plans (CHMPs) and delivering high-quality heritage advice.
Solid research, fieldwork, and site analysis skills.

Skills & Capabilities

You will also demonstrate:

Strong technical writing and reporting skills, with the ability to prepare clear and accurate heritage reports.
Effective verbal communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
A collaborative approach, with the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
The ability to manage small to medium-sized projects, delivering on time, within budget, and to a high standard.

Key Responsibilities

In the Project Archaeologist / Heritage Advisor role, you will:

Lead small to medium heritage projects (i.e. high-level advice and CHMPs), including fieldwork and reporting.
Support senior team members on larger and more complex projects.
Prepare heritage reports and assessments, with appropriate guidance and review.
Contribute to a positive team environment and support knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.

With safety and flexibility always top of mind, we’ve gone beyond traditional ways of working so you have the support, means and space to maximize your potential. You’ll uncover flexible working arrangements, benefits and opportunities, from well-being benefits to our global giving and volunteering program, to exploring new and inventive ways to help our clients make the world a better place. No matter what drives you, you’ll discover how you can cultivate, nurture and achieve your goals – all at a single global company. Find out more about life at Jacobs here.

We aim to embed inclusion and belonging in everything we do. We know that if we are inclusive, we’re more connected and creative. We accept people for who they are, and we champion the richness of diverse perspectives, lived experiences and backgrounds in the workplace, as a source of learning and innovation. We are committed to building vibrant communities within Jacobs, including through our Jacobs Employee Networks, Communities of Practice and our Find Your Community initiatives, allowing every employee to find connection, purpose, and belonging.

Our meticulously curated employee benefits support ALL employees throughout every stage of life. From paid parental leave to a lifetime financial allowance for you and your partner to access family forming Fertility & IVF treatment, adoption and surrogacy assistance along with menopause and Low T treatment.

We are steadfast in our commitment to the wellbeing of you and your loved ones with a comprehensive suite of wellbeing resources supporting you physically, emotionally and financially. This is demonstrated in our company being recognised by WGEA for 12 consecutive years as an employer of choice for gender equality along with our industry leading GOLD employer status by the Australian Workplace Equality Index.

Cultural Support:

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are strongly encouraged to apply. Jacobs aims to provide cultural safety at our interviews. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are invited to nominate a cultural representative to participate on the interview panel; please let your recruiter know in your application. No matter what drives you, you'll discover a way to cultivate, nurture and achieve your goals – all at a single global company.

We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery. We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work.

Your application experience is important to us, and we’re keen to adapt to make every interaction even better.
