Join Us in Shaping the Future of Asbestos Safety and Compliance. Are you ready to take your expertise to the next level? This is your opportunity to join as a Senior Asbestos Consultant in a team of industry specialists delivering critical asbestos surveying and air testing services across London and beyond. If you’re passionate about precision, compliance and making environments safer, we want to hear from you.

Purpose & Scope of the Role

As a Senior Asbestos Consultant, you’ll be at the forefront of safety-critical projects, providing expert surveying and air monitoring services that protect people and property. Reporting into our London office, this role is primarily site-based, with flexibility for administrative tasks from home. You’ll work closely with clients and removal contractors, ensuring compliance with stringent regulations and issuing certification for reoccupation. From conducting surveys and performing air tests to producing detailed technical reports, your work will uphold the highest standards of safety and quality across diverse sectors including pharmaceuticals, aviation, utilities and commercial property.

Your Impact in this Position

In the short term, you’ll gain exposure to high-profile assignments and work towards achieving the P405 qualification, paving the way for progression into project management. Medium-term opportunities include auditing responsibilities and mentoring junior consultants, while longer-term development could see you leading major projects and becoming a recognised industry expert.

Core Capabilities

• Asbestos Surveying
  Your expertise in asbestos surveying will be the foundation of this role. You’ll conduct management, refurbishment, and demolition surveys with absolute precision, ensuring every detail is captured and documented in line with current legislation and industry best practice.
• Asbestos Air Testing
  Expertise in air monitoring and analytical techniques is critical. You’ll carry out rigorous air monitoring and four-stage clearance procedures, using calibrated equipment to collect samples and prepare them for microscopic analysis.
• Asbestos Expertise
  This capability is about being the trusted authority in complex environments. You’ll bring a thorough understanding of asbestos-containing materials, removal processes, and associated hazards, applying this expertise in sectors where precision is non-negotiable.
• Technical Reporting and Auditing
  Your ability to transform technical data into clear, comprehensive reports will be key. You’ll also take responsibility for auditing reports prepared by others, ensuring consistency and adherence to company standards.
• Leadership and Mentoring
  As a senior consultant, you’ll be more than a technical expert—you’ll be a leader. You’ll provide technical sign-off, coach junior team members and foster a culture of safety, quality and continuous improvement.

Qualifications & Experience

You’ll hold P402, P403, and P404 qualifications, with experience in asbestos surveying and air testing, including four-stage clearance. A full UK driving licence is essential. P405 certification or a willingness to obtain it is beneficial.

Working Environment

This is a site-based role covering London, the Home Counties and Essex, with occasional projects extending south of Birmingham or towards Milton Keynes. While you’ll report into our London office, attendance is only required for one annual meeting. Administrative tasks can be completed from home, offering flexibility. Expect to work on client sites five days per week, with travel of up to a maximum of two hours each way. Opportunities for overseas assignments are available, with all expenses covered.

In alignment with the Equality Act 2010, we will make reasonable adjustments to support candidates and employees requiring additional arrangements. Please inform us if you need accommodations during the recruitment process or in your day-to-day role.
