About Heneb – The Trust for Welsh Archaeology Heneb is a charitable organisation committed to preserving and promoting Wales’ rich archaeological heritage.
Heneb is a leading provider of archaeological and heritage services across Wales.
Formed in 2024 through the merger of the four Welsh Archaeological Trusts, Heneb combines over five decades of expertise in archaeology and heritage management.
We offer a comprehensive range of archaeological and consultancy services to support development in both the public and private sectors.
We collaborate closely with developers, landowners, and communities to ensure compliance with regulations, while safeguarding and documenting Wales’ rich historic environment.
Purpose of the role To lead, grow, and develop a strategy for Heneb’s consultancy service, providing high level understanding of the technical, commercial, and strategic implementation for archaeological and heritage consultancy work.
The postholder will play a central role in developing Heneb’s offer in renewables and other major development sectors, building a strong and sustainable consultancy portfolio, nurturing key client relationships, and establishing the systems, standards, and team capacity required for long term growth.
This role will combine senior leadership of service development, quality assurance, and team building with selective personal delivery of complex consultancy commissions Context Heneb’s consultancy workload has grown rapidly since its formation in April 2024, particularly in relation to renewable energy and wider infrastructure schemes across Wales.
As a service provider, Heneb is well placed to identify and respond to further opportunities in this area, and to develop its consultancy services across Wales in the coming years.
The purpose of this post is to provide dedicated leadership in business development, support further growth, and strengthen internal capacity, quality assurance, and coordination.
The ambition is to develop a dedicated consultancy wing within Heneb’s wider Field Services team, with the capacity, systems, and commercial focus needed to deliver high quality advice, build long term client relationships, and support sustainable organisational growth.
