This role offers you an unrivalled opportunity to apply your knowledge and experience in asbestos surveying whilst helping to support and develop your experience in all aspects of asbestos management.

You will spend a good percentage of your time applying your IT and reporting skills as you ensure that the inspections you undertake on site are reflected in clear, accurate reporting and register updates & development.

The role will provide many opportunities for professional and career development, on the job experience of all aspects of asbestos management will be provided by the team. These will be complimented by formal training and development opportunities where appropriate.
