Sick of driving from one identical domestic property to another, carrying out mind-numbing residential surveys everyday, day after day? Do you feel that you have much more to offer, and would like to fully upskill and develop your skillset within the Environmental sector? If you are feeling underutilised, undervalued, and trapped in the residential survey cycle, then this job could be the opportunity you've been looking for to start building a genuine consultancy career. We are partnering with an international multi-disciplinary engineering and environmental powerhouse to find a driven, ambitious Asbestos Surveyor looking to elevate their career. The twist? They don't touch standard local government or social housing contracts. Instead, you'll be stepping onto some of the most high-profile, prestigious flagship commercial and infrastructure projects in the UK. From major redevelopments at West London's premier aviation hubs to high-end, blue-chip commercial estates in the heart of central London, this is big, meaty project work you can actually get stuck into The Role This isn't a role that would see you become a cut and paste repetitive and monotonous surveyor.

Specific Duties will include: Conducting Management and Refurbishment/Demolition (R&D) surveys across an exclusive commercial and infrastructure portfolio. Taking accurate bulk samples of suspected Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs). Utilising advanced, highly bespoke data collection software (Alpha Tracker) to map out site findings. Liaising with internal engineering teams and premier clients to manage on-site risk. What's In It For You? The 7,500 Car Allowance: You get a staggering 7.5k annual car allowance. You can use their internal car scheme to lease a vehicle, or you can take it entirely as cash salary. Take the cash, and your 35k base instantly transforms into a 42,500 starting salary before you've even done an hour of overtime. The Site Lunch Perk: When you are out on site, you get a 10 per day cash allowance for lunch. If you're on site 220 days a year, that is over 2,200 of tax-free money back in your pocket. Get a supermarket meal deal and keep the change. True Professional Up-Skilling: Because they are an international giant, you aren't siloed forever. If you have the drive, they will provide the pathway and funding to cross-train you into CDM Consultancy, Fire Risk, or Health & Safety management down the line. Work-Life Balance: 25 days annual leave + bank holidays, up to 5% matched pension, and hybrid office/home working flexibility. About You Qualifications: You must hold the BOHS P402 proficiency module. A willingness to be trained and upskilled to become a dual skilled surveyor / analyst (if you have P403 and P404 already, brilliant). Experience: Ideally a minimum of 1 year of post-qualification experience down the line. We want someone enthusiastic, and full of drive who is passionate about developing their career to its fullest potential The Mindset: You want to step up, speak to clients professionally, and learn how to manage complex, large-scale commercial landscapes.
