ecological consultancies would seem to be the closest fit for jobs in the contracting world.
Yes and no. We employ a whole bunch of Ewoks as ecologists here at VMP and they have to spend around six of your earth months each year justifying their existence (on their knees), as they can't do surveys etc. 'out of season'. This isn't really like commercial archaeology where employment for the site staff is dictated by availability rather than seasonality of work. They do however, probably get paid more than field archaeologists of equivalent experience.
I wasnât sure at which end of the spectrum Dr P was pitching this to this chap but I presume weâre taking him into account in the survey:
