Join Us in Shaping the Future of Safe Built Environments Through High Precision Asbestos Air Monitoring Step into a role where technical fieldwork, autonomy and real world impact come together. This is an opportunity to apply specialist expertise on complex sites, contribute to safer operations across diverse environments and progress along a clearly defined career pathway. The role will cover locations across the Southeast and London, as well as the Darlington area in the Northeast. In addition to the very competitive salary and overtime rates, we also offer a company car or a car allowance, giving you the flexibility and support you need for your role. Purpose & Scope of the Role In this role you will safeguard people and commercial environments by delivering precise asbestos air monitoring and analysis to UKAS standards. You will carry out air testing, airborne fibre counting, reassurance sampling, leak and smoke testing, and four stage clearances for reoccupation, producing clear, accurate and compliant technical reports. Your work involves planning and managing your own schedule, reviewing contractors’ risk assessments and method statements, completing routine QC slide checks and collaborating closely with clients, contractors and internal colleagues. You will apply HSE guidance, particularly HSG248, and follow approved procedures at every stage to ensure safe and reliable outcomes. You will report to the Regional Operations Manager and operate across commercial and industrial sites rather than residential settings. Projects vary from single day clearances to multiweek or multisite projects, requiring disciplined coordination of equipment, travel and sample management. You will work directly with clients, onsite teams and internal quality and operations departments, contributing to audits, method reviews and continuous improvement. Your Impact in This Position From the outset you will achieve or maintain UKAS authorisation and deliver consistently accurate monitoring, analysis and clearance reporting. Over time you will take ownership of more complex sites, lead aspects of RAMS review and client briefings, contribute to internal quality performance and share knowledge with colleagues. You may choose to become dual trained as both Analyst and Surveyor, broadening your technical capability and opening further development pathways. As your experience grows, you will have opportunities to support consultancy activities such as asbestos management planning and advisory work, allowing a gradual transition into more strategic responsibilities where desired. The career pathway is structured, supportive and flexible, with opportunities to gain further BOHS qualifications and progress into senior analytical, quality or supervisory roles.
