At Extent Heritage, we don’t just manage sites; we tell the stories of landscapes that have been shaped by thousands of years of human connection. Our Sea Country team is expanding, and we are looking for dedicated professionals to help us lead the way in submerged cultural heritage and maritime archaeology across Australia and beyond. These roles can be based in Brisbane, Sydney, or Melbourne as part of our national business unit.
Whether you are a specialist in Aboriginal cultural heritage, a maritime archaeologist or a geoarchaeologist with an interest in submerged landscapes, we want to hear from you.
We are looking to add to our team of diverse strengths, and welcome individuals at any level of experience, from recent graduates to senior level professionals, who bring expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- Aboriginal archaeology: Projects pertaining to State and Commonwealth legislation, Traditional Owner engagement, managing complex deliverables
- Submerged Palaeolandscapes: Researching and modelling drowned landscapes and ancient land surfaces.
- Maritime Archaeology: Shipwreck management, site recording, and management of maritime archaeology.
- Marine Geophysics: Expertise in side-scan sonar, multibeam echosounder, and sub-bottom profiler data interpretation.
- Traditional Owner Engagement: Facilitating meaningful, respectful, and leading-edge collaboration with First Nations communities regarding Sea Country.
- Environmental Effects Statements (EES/EIS): Navigating complex regulatory frameworks and providing expert heritage input for large-scale offshore developments.
You’re someone who thrives in a collaborative environment and isn’t afraid to get their boots (or fins) wet. Ideally, you bring:
- Technical Excellence: A degree in Archaeology, Marine Science, Geophysics, or a related field.
- Project Experience: Familiarity with the heritage requirements of offshore renewables, infrastructure, or coastal development.
- Cultural Competency: A deep commitment to working alongside Traditional Owners to protect submerged cultural values.
- Problem-Solving Mindset: The ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable advice for our clients.
