Skills, Knowledge, and Experience About You
This is a very hands‑on and practical role so you should be willing to get stuck in and learn from the offset! You’re looking for someone who is focused, careful, results‑oriented, and uses good attention to detail to identify problems and record observations. The ability to think on your feet is crucial due to the environment and nature of the role – you will have good health and safety awareness and be able to work towards strict health and safety guidelines.
We’re seeking somebody who loves to be busy and enjoys the practical side of working. If you currently hold some experience of working with tools and technical equipment, this is the perfect opportunity for you!
It’s crucial in this position that you’re comfortable using a computer, and ideally have a good understanding of Excel.
As you’ll be working on different sites and meeting new people on a daily basis, it’s important for you to be a confident communicator and a positive team player, with strong interpersonal skills (both written and verbal).
To succeed in this apprenticeship, you’ll need bags of enthusiasm, be a fantastic collaborator and be hungry to learn!
Please note, because of the site‑based nature of this position, you must be aged 18+, hold a clean UK Driving Licence and be willing to drive to different sites on a daily basis. Part of your role will also require occasional heavy lifting.
Experience
We value attitude, curiosity, and commitment just as much as past experience. While previous experience can be helpful, it’s not essential — we welcome applicants from all backgrounds, especially those with a genuine interest in the field and the motivation to build a career.
You might be a school or college leaver, or someone looking to retrain. Either way, if you’re enthusiastic, proactive, and ready to learn, you’ll fit right in.
If you currently hold a CSCS card, or have experience in a construction, site‑based or tool‑based role, even better!
Qualifications
It’s about enthusiasm, not school results. In our experience the most successful apprentices are those who are driven to find out more about the sector, can be upfront about what they do and don’t already know, are considerate, self‑reflective, and impatient to learn the job role!
So how does the apprenticeship work?
Over 18 months, you’ll devote a minimum of 6 hours of your working week on ‘off the job’ training. This can include theory training (for example, virtual lessons & online learning), alongside practical training (for example shadowing, mentoring, & time spent writing assignments). Together this will count towards a Level 3 Asbestos Technician apprenticeship.
You’ll be trained by an expert tutor from Tiro as well as an experienced mentor at ACE Consultants who together will make sure you develop the knowledge, skills, and work habits you’ll need to succeed in your career. Being an apprentice is hands‑on, so you’ll get the chance to learn things you might otherwise not have experienced in a university or college environment.
The best part? You’ll be earning a salary while you gain your qualifications, meaning no huge student loans to pay back at the end of the programme!
Eligibility
To be eligible, applicants must demonstrate that the program will provide learning and experiences beyond their current qualifications and professional expertise. Applicants must be over 18, not in full‑time education, have lived in the UK for 3 years and have the right to work in the UK.
Applicants who already hold a Level 3, degree or equivalent higher‑level qualification in a closely related field, or possess substantial relevant experience, may not be eligible for apprenticeship funding, as these programmes are designed for individuals who require upskilling or reskilling in their chosen career pathway.
If you don’t quite meet these minimum requirements yet, let us know you’re interested here and we’ll get in touch to discuss this further with you.
