Key Responsibilities

We are pleased to offer an opportunity for an Asbestos Analyst & Surveyor Apprentice to join Inspectas Compliance. The apprenticeship will provide you with the training, qualifications and practical experience needed to develop towards becoming a qualified asbestos consultant.

You will initially develop your skills within asbestos analysis, working alongside experienced and fully authorised professionals to gain hands-on experience. As you develop your knowledge and competence, you will have the opportunity to build your skills further within asbestos surveying.

This is a varied, practical role combining site-based work with technical reporting, client interaction and a strong focus on health, safety and quality.

• Carrying out asbestos inspections, testing, sampling and air monitoring under the guidance of experienced professionals.
• Supporting risk assessments and other asbestos-related activities while ensuring work meets statutory and company requirements.

• As you progress, gaining experience in management, refurbishment and demolition asbestos surveys, including inspections and bulk sampling.
• Carrying out site visits, liaising with clients and supporting the preparation of asbestos survey reports and documentation.
• Checking and maintaining work, surveying and inspection equipment to ensure it remains safe and serviceable.

About You

You're someone who prefers being out on site rather than behind a desk, and you're comfortable working in environments like construction, demolition, or industrial settings. Early starts, travel, and changing locations don't put you off - in fact, you enjoy the variety and the sense of purpose that comes with hands-on work.

You take safety seriously and understand the importance of following procedures properly. Working to strict rules, method statements, and risk assessments feels natural to you, and you don't cut corners. You're calm, focused, and able to stay composed even in regulated environments where inspections, audits, or oversight are part of the job.

You're practical by nature and learn best by doing. Repetition and routine don't bother you - you see them as part of building consistency and getting things right every time. You're comfortable using equipment, following technical processes, and working in PPE or RPE for extended periods when required.

You can work independently once trained, taking responsibility for your tasks, but you also communicate clearly with teammates and supervisors to make sure work is completed safely and correctly. You're motivated by doing work that matters — contributing to environmental safety, compliance, and protecting public health.

You value clear expectations, stability, and progression. You're interested in building a long-term career, developing your skills step by step, and moving forward into roles such as surveyor or analyst over time.

Please note: You must be 18+ due to the nature of the working environment and a full manual driving licence is required for this role

Apprenticeship Eligibility

• Be 18 or over
• Not be in full-time education
