Occupational Health Technician (Hybrid OH & Hygiene Role)

Location: Gravesend/Tilbury
Type: Full-time, Permanent
Salary: £25,000-£30,000 dependent on experience

The Opportunity

We’re partnering with a well-established and forward-thinking business to recruit an Occupational Health Technician for an exciting hybrid role.

This is not your typical OH Technician position. You’ll have the opportunity to expand into occupational hygiene, working alongside experienced specialists and gaining hands-on exposure to a broader, more preventative approach to workplace health.

If you’re looking to develop your career beyond traditional health surveillance, this role offers a unique pathway into a holistic and impactful field.

The Role

This is a varied, predominantly site-based role where you’ll deliver core occupational health services while also supporting occupational hygiene activities.

Key responsibilities include:

• Conducting pre-placement health assessments
• Carrying out drug and alcohol testing
• Supporting return-to-work assessments
• Delivering health surveillance programmes
• Assisting with workplace wellbeing initiatives and campaigns
• Monitoring exposure to workplace hazards (e.g. noise, dust, vibration)
• Recording findings and producing clear, accurate reports
• Delivering toolbox talks and engaging with clients on-site
• Supporting the wider team in delivering occupational hygiene services

You’ll work across a range of client environments, contributing directly to the prevention of workplace ill-health.

About You

We’re looking for a motivated and adaptable Occupational Health Technician who is keen to grow and diversify their skillset.

You’ll bring:

• Previous experience as an Occupational Health Technician (essential)
• Strong client-facing and communication skills
• A proactive, organised, and detail-oriented approach
• Confidence working independently as well as part of a team
• A genuine interest in developing within occupational hygiene

What’s on Offer

• Structured training and development in occupational hygiene
• Opportunity to work on large-scale and high-profile projects
• Exposure to a wide range of industries and environments
• Supportive, knowledgeable, and collaborative team
• Clear progression pathway into a more specialised field

Why Apply?

This is a standout opportunity for an Occupational Health Technician who wants more than routine screening work. You’ll gain valuable new skills, broaden your expertise, and play a direct role in improving workplace health outcomes in a more comprehensive way.
