As part of our dedicated team, you’ll play a key role in identifying and monitoring asbestos in buildings, helping to create safer spaces across the UK.

Check the level of airborne fibres before starting any work

Carry out air testing after the work to confirm it’s safe to remove safety controls and use the area again
Report any health and safety concerns to the client and stop work right away if needed
Put together a final report with all project details, including waste documents, for the building’s safety file
To be a successful Trainee Asbestos Analyst you should be able to demonstrate:
You’ll be a team player with the ability to work independently as you gain confidence in asbestos air monitoring
An interest in working in varied site environments is important, as you'll regularly travel to different locations to carry out air monitoring
A keen eye for detail and an interest in analytical work—particularly using microscopes is valuable, as you’ll be trained to examine air samples for asbestos fibres
Strong time management and organisational skills are essential to manage site schedules, complete reports accurately, and meet client deadlines
Clear communication skills, both written and verbal are important for reporting findings and working with clients and colleagues
A full manual UK driving licence is required, as this role involves regular travel to client sites across the region
