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. This is a role where your technical leadership will make a tangible difference.
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. The role is about safeguarding lives and environments. You’ll use advanced tools and software to collect and analyse data, delivering clear, actionable insights that clients can trust. Your ability to interpret findings and provide practical recommendations will set the standard for compliance and safety.
Asbestos Air Testing
Expertise in air monitoring and analytical techniques is critical and your role will ensure it meets the highest safety benchmarks. You’ll carry out rigorous air monitoring and four‑stage clearance procedures, using calibrated equipment to collect samples and prepare them for microscopic analysis. Accuracy is everything—you’ll interpret fibre counts with confidence and issue certificates of reoccupation only when conditions are fully compliant. Your deep understanding of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 will underpin every decision, giving clients complete assurance that their sites are safe.
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, such as pharmaceuticals, aviation and utilities. You will need to stay ahead of evolving regulations and industry innovations, enabling you to advise clients and colleagues with confidence and clarity.
Technical Reporting and Auditing
Your ability to transform technical data into clear, comprehensive reports will be key. Every report you produce will combine accuracy, detail and actionable insights, supported by photographic evidence where required. You’ll also take responsibility for auditing reports prepared by others, ensuring consistency and adherence to company standards. Your ability to deliver precise, well‑structured reports will be crucial in ensuring clarity, compliance, and confidence for both clients and internal teams.
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 share your knowledge to help others grow. Leadership here means fostering a culture of safety, quality and continuous improvement, ensuring that every project meets the highest standards. Your ability to inspire and guide others will strengthen the team and enhance our reputation for excellence.
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.
Equal Opportunities
In alignment with the Equality Act 2010, we will make reasonable adjustments to support candidates and employees requiring additional arrangements. This could include adaptations to work schedules, training approaches, or the physical workspace. Please inform us if you need any accommodations during the recruitment process or in your day‑to‑day role.
