Philippa
Projects Manager, Tyneside
“I have worked at ARS Ltd now for 14 years having graduated from York University in 2008. I began with the company as an Archaeological Officer and have worked my way up to Projects Manager at our Tyneside Office. ARS has always been a very friendly place to work with a great team spirit.
What I’ve been particularly grateful for is the training that I have received whilst working here. Training in all aspects of commercial archaeology is offered frequently and any suggestions from staff members for further training are always seriously considered. This training has allowed me to acquire a wide range of skills which helps make me feel that I’m making a valuable contribution to the company but also keeps my role diverse and interesting.”

“The company has consistently invested in me and has given me opportunities to push myself and develop my skills, not only in archaeological fieldwork but also in post-excavation, consultancy and people management, allowing me to develop beyond what I thought I could.”

“I have worked for Archaeological Research Services Ltd. for over three years. In that time, I have been fortunate to work on a wide variety of projects, from large infrastructure schemes to small evaluations. Throughout, ARS have invested in, and developed, my skills and knowledge to enable me to produce high quality work. ARS Ltd is a company of a committed and professional people throughout, and I am proud to count myself among them.”
Ada
Senior Archaeological Project Officer, Sheffield
“I started working for ARS as an Archaeological Officer in 2022. During my time with the company, I have gained invaluable experience in British commercial archaeology and I have been promoted to Senior Assistant Project Officer. I have been given opportunities to run my own sites, further developing my skills in fieldwork. Additionally, I have had a chance to participate in various other projects, including creating content for social media and drawing reconstruction illustrations. I appreciate the support and mentorship I have received in ARS, which has been instrumental in my professional growth.”
Rachael
Archaeological Officer, Tyneside
“I joined Archaeological Research Services Ltd. in April 2019 as an Archaeological Officer. I was instantly met by the friendly and welcoming team who were always willing to help me out.
Recently, I took part in the European TerrACE project in Northumberland. It was an interesting research dig, full of new experiences and the chance to work alongside local volunteers. I really enjoyed my time in the Breamish valley and was grateful I was given the chance to undertake this project.
With a background in Forensic Anthropology rather than Archaeology, I was especially pleased to find a company so keen to continue personal development. Whilst I’ve only recently joined the company, I have already had the opportunity to partake in multiple training sessions. This has given me the chance to further develop my skills and I look forward to being able to continue my development through the training available here at Archaeological Research Services Ltd.”
