The company provides a company van, equipment, PPE, pension, 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, and regular training and CPD opportunities.
Experience
Previous experience is beneficial but not essential. The role is suited to individuals with a strong aptitude and willingness to learn, particularly those comfortable working with tools, equipment, or in technical settings.
About you
You must be accurate, diligent, and accountable with a methodical approach and strong attention to detail. Being results-driven and able to make sound decisions on-site is essential. A genuine commitment to health and safety and asbestos industry standards is required. You should be friendly, reliable, self-motivated, and able to work independently and as part of a team. Strong communication skills are important due to varied work environments and interactions.
Due to the site-based nature of the role, you must be aged 20 or over, hold a clean UK driving licence, and be willing to travel daily to different sites. The role involves occasional heavy lifting, working at heights, and confined spaces.
Qualifications
Enthusiasm and a positive attitude are more important than formal qualifications. Applicants should not already hold a Level 3 or higher qualification in a closely related field to be eligible for apprenticeship funding. You must not be in full-time education, must have lived in the UK for at least 3 years, and have the right to work in the UK.
