Infrastructure

Working with your Team

Joe has worked on several infrastructure schemes which have an archaeological element. The scale of such projects means that the Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors are very keen that archaeology, along with other environmental concerns are dealt with to the highest standards. These projects benefit from scale and, often, provide chances for really meaningful co-working with various different trades. Archaeologists learn a huge amount by working alongside engineers, Quantity Surveyors and health and safety specialists. Our sector has been made much more professional by working on such schemes. These have driven technological change, especially in digital recording and surveying. Such techniques now appear in many other kinds of archaeological projects as a result.

 

When at Albion Joe worked on the A428 Road scheme as Archaeological Project Manager for evaluative and mitigation stages of this roadscheme west of Cambridge. It is published here (http://eaareports.org.uk/publication/report123/) and was commended for finishing on time and budget.

He was Deputy Director for MOLA Headland Infrastructure on the mitigation stage of works for the Thames Tideway Tunnel (Infrastructure). During this long running project his main contribution was tender preparation, tender interviews and setting up the practicalities of successful joint working between MOLA-Headland.

When at Headland Archaeology Joe worked on the Staffordshire Alliance (rail) Archaeological Project Manager during this significant rail improvement scheme.
