AOC Archaeology seeking new talent in recruitment drive to meet growing demand
AOC archaeology group is
further expanding its York team having seen staff numbers grow from two to
seven in two years along side quadrupling turnover.
With a pipeline of work
coming in from sites across the region, AOC Archaeology Group is looking to
appoint an additional three permanent staff to meet the challenges of the
expanding workload at its York office.
York team manager, Mitch
Pollington, who was recently appointed a company director, said: "The
success of the York office has been down to the hard work, skills and experience
of the team that we have built, by encouraging the development of our staff
through training and promotion, and with it creating a really enjoyable and
dynamic team culture."
AOC Archaeology Group
was established in 1991, and operates a network of offices across the UK,
including a site at the Raylor Centre in James Street, as well as Edinburgh,
Inverness and London.
Recent projects have
included major road schemes in Beverley and Brough, large-scale residential
developments in the Midlands and an excavation on a large medieval site in
Hull.
The firm also carried
out the ‘Hidden Guildhall’ community archaeology excavation that was carried
out next to York’s Guildhall last summer.
The application of the
latest digital technology has been one part of the team’s success, including
geophysical survey and the use of ground penetrating radar (GPR) to produce 3D
images of buried archaeological features, without disturbing the ground.
AOC’s managing director
Andy Heald said: "The York office is an excellent reflection of the wider
AOC Group.
"Despite being in
the midst of a recession for the last five years our service offering,
turnover, market share, client groups and number of staff have continued to
grow year on year." blished in 1991, and operates a network of offices
across the UK, including a site at the Raylor Centre in James Street, as well

Today, we launch our travel insurance products for archaeologists!
Today, we launch our travel insurance products for archaeologists!
Many travel products
will not cover you for excavation and survey work while abroad – you will often
find that ‘manual labour’ is excluded from cover – and this would include
archaeological work.
We have teamed up with “nowicantravel”
to provide cover for “manual labour” as standard.
Whether you are off on a
12 month backpacking trip and join an excavation for a couple of weeks in Peru
or you’re off to France for a 2 week survey – you will be covered.
For single trips, cover
can be bought by the day – going as low as £4.22 for a 2 day trip to Europe.
We also have a ‘cruise’ travel insurance product as well as a skiing policy.
Because of some of the
work we do with the Disabled Students Association, we also provide cover for individuals
who may normally find it difficult to get travel insurance – whether because of
pre-existing medical conditions or age, we should be able to get you insured.
Finally, we can also
offer group discounts on annual and single trip policies.
