Job description

Own the Standards That Keep People and Projects Safe

Deliver high integrity asbestos surveying and analytical services across complex industrial and commercial sites, enabling safe reoccupation and keeping critical projects moving with confidence. This is a role where precision matters, your decisions hold weight and your expertise shapes safer built environments.

We have multiple roles available that will cover locations across the Southeast and London. 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

This is a dual surveyor/analyst position focused on air monitoring, reassurance testing and four stage clearance in line with HSG248, complemented by scheduled management, refurbishment and demolition surveys aligned to HSG264. You will set up and calibrate air sampling equipment, carry out visual inspections of removal works, collect and interpret field data and issue accurate, UKAS compliant reports and certification. The workload balances predominantly analytical duties with planned surveying to sustain dual competence.

You will report to the regional Operations Manager and operate within a UKAS accredited quality system. Projects span live operational facilities, industrial and commercial estates, and refurbishment or demolition projects, ranging from rapid turnarounds to multiphase frameworks. You will work independently on client sites and collaborate closely with removal contractors, site managers, project teams and internal technical reviewers to ensure work is planned, executed and verified in line with legislation, guidance and company procedures. The emphasis is on data integrity, methodical delivery, and the timely issue of defensible documentation. Residential work is minimal to none.

Your Impact in this Position

From day one you’ll consolidate proficiency across all air monitoring types and survey categories. As you progress, you will take on larger, more complex enclosures and multisite projects, lead elements of industrial refurbishment and demolition surveys, support technical review, and contribute to method development, continuous improvement and client mobilisation. Longer term, you can step into senior consultant or project lead roles, develop specialisms in complex clearance strategies or largescale survey design, mentor colleagues, assess competence, and support high profile projects where rigorous compliance and stakeholder assurance are critical.

Core Capabilities

Asbestos Surveying

You will apply HSG264 with precision, planning surveys to match risk, building use and the intended works. You scope access and limitations clearly, undertake intrusive inspections safely, identify ACMs across fabric, plant and equipment, and make sound material and priority assessments. Your records are systematic, sampling strategies representative and locations unambiguous, so clients can maintain robust registers and make informed manage or remove decisions. You are comfortable leading complex surveys on operational and mixed use industrial sites while keeping safety, quality and client expectations tightly controlled.

Analytical Expertise

You are to deliver air monitoring and four stage clearance in accordance with HSG248, selecting and positioning equipment correctly and completing background, leak, reassurance and personal sampling with consistency. Your visual inspections demonstrate a deep understanding of enclosure integrity and removal quality. You know when not to progress a clearance, communicate findings clearly, and maintain independence and impartiality. Fibre counting, result validation and interpretation are executed with accuracy and backed by rigorous documentation, even in dynamic conditions on large or complex projects.

Regulatory & Technical Compliance

You will demonstrate a thorough hands‑on understanding of the Control of Asbestos Regulations, HSG248, HSG264 and UKAS requirements, applying internal quality procedures so work remains compliant, auditable and defensible. You maintain traceability from samples to results, follow method statements and risk assessments, and exercise professional judgement in non‑routine situations. You keep pace with regulatory change and emerging best practice, contribute to internal technical discussions, support audits and reviews, and uphold the integrity of the accredited management system through disciplined, consistent working.

Technical Reporting

Convert detailed site observations into clear, accurate and technically robust reports. Survey reports, analytical certificates and clearance records are structured, accurate and aligned to regulatory requirements and client expectations. Your language is clear for non specialists without compromising technical depth. Reports show logical methodology, consistent terminology and appropriate referencing to standards, with plans, photographs and supporting data where needed. You take ownership of timeliness and completeness so outputs stand up to technical review and challenge.

Client and Stakeholder Engagement

Provide informed, confident technical guidance, building strong working relationships with clients, contractors, site managers and internal teams. You will set realistic expectations on scope, timescales and deliverables, respond constructively to technical queries and address removal quality issues when corrective action is required. Your approach is pragmatic and solutions focused, balancing regulatory compliance with operational realities while maintaining independence and technical integrity. Your interpersonal skills foster productive relationships, repeat business and a reputation for reliable, high quality consultancy.

Qualifications & Experience

You hold BOHS P402, P403 and P404 or recognised equivalents such as RSPH. You bring demonstrable experience in air testing and four stage clearances and practical exposure to surveys in commercial and industrial settings. You have a full UK driving licence, are familiar with UKAS accredited systems and have robust knowledge of asbestos legislation and HSE guidance.

Working Environment

This is a site led role across commercial and industrial locations, with travel to client premises and occasional work outside standard hours where projects require it. Office attendance is expected on an agreed periodic basis for collaboration, training, quality reviews and team engagement. Overtime opportunities may be available at enhanced rates in line with business needs. We support flexible arrangements, including three or four day working weeks. Overtime opportunities may be available and are remunerated at enhanced rates.
