Heritage Specialist

Heritage Specialists provide advisory services to government departments, museums, galleries, and private corporations to ensure organisational activities don’t interfere the integrity of heritage buildings, monuments, artefacts, and places of cultural significance. They work closely with senior management to develop operational policies and practices that comply with heritage legislation and are often involved in the strategic planning process.

As a Heritage Specialist you could be assessing heritage buildings for a construction company, inspecting a culturally significant artwork that has been uncovered by an energy company, providing specialist advice to a local Council about the best ways to manage assets with cultural heritage values, or developing a cultural heritage management plan for a client.
