Shape Victoria's Heritage Story
Victoria holds some of Australia's most complex and layered heritage landscapes, from colonial-era urban archaeology to tens of thousands of years of First Nations cultural heritage. At Everick Heritage, you won't just document that story. You'll help protect it. We're looking for a mid-career archaeologist to join our growing Victorian team. You'll work across a diverse portfolio of projects spanning historical archaeology, Aboriginal cultural heritage, and major infrastructure and development. No two weeks look the same, and that's the point.
About Everick Heritage

Our Victorian practice is expanding, and we're building a team of sharp, committed professionals who care about delivering meaningful heritage outcomes, not just ticking boxes. We work with government, private developers, infrastructure authorities, and First Nations communities.

While the company operates under flexible work arrangements, the successful applicant will be expected to attend the local office most of the time.
