Job Summary Asbestos Operative

We are seeking an experienced Asbestos Operative to join our growing team as a Mould and Damp Remediation Specialist.

Our approach to mould remediation is different from conventional mould cleaning companies. We don't simply spray chemicals onto mould - we physically remove contaminated materials, address the underlying contamination and follow controlled remediation procedures.

The role involves identifying, assessing and remediating mould and moisture-related damage in residential and commercial properties.

Candidates with a background in asbestos removal are particularly suited to this position due to their existing experience with containment, controlled removal, PPE, RPE, decontamination procedures and safe handling of hazardous materials.

We will provide specialist training in our mould remediation techniques, equipment and working procedures.

• HEPA-filtered equipment and specialist cleaning techniques.
• Safe removal and disposal of contaminated materials.
• Working in accordance with method statements, risk assessments and site-specific procedures.
• An asbestos awareness certificate alone, including an online asbestos awareness course, is not sufficient for this position.
• Desirable Skills
• Previous experience in mould remediation, water damage restoration or damp treatment.
• Knowledge of building construction and common building materials.
• Experience with property strip-out and controlled demolition.
• Strong attention to detail and a practical, problem-solving approach.
