This client-facing role manages the Asbestos Consultants Framework on behalf of Arc Partnership and supports risk-based compliance across the organisation, including fire and legionella.

Reporting to the Head of Risk Management, you will lead a small team of site surveyors, develop and manage asbestos management strategies, policies and management plans, and engage with clients and third parties to provide advice and monitor progress against remediation plans.

What you'll do

The Compliance Manager (Asbestos) role is client-facing and accountable for managing the Asbestos Consultants Framework, driving business growth and future development of services. You will develop and manage the programme of work for your team, ensuring all advice, formal reporting and services relating to asbestos meet legal compliance standards.

• Knowledge of the use of asbestos in construction and its typical locations, with reference to system buildings (e.g., CLASP).
• Knowledge of statutory health and safety requirements relating to the management of asbestos in buildings.

Desirable

• Good understanding of construction within Local Government and the wider Public Sector.
• Basic understanding of sustainability in the workplace and commitment to supporting the business with its carbon reduction strategy.

• A salary of between £40,000 – £50,000 based on experience.
• Travel expenses to and from site.
• Local Government Pension Scheme with generous employer contributions of 19.6% and life assurance of 3x salary.
