Asbestos Assessor

Arc Partnership is a joint venture between Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC) and SCAPE. Formed in 2016 to support the council in creating an efficient, safe, and sustainable land and property portfolio.

We provide lifecycle property services, including the delivery of a high volume of multi-disciplinary projects in refurbishment and live sites.

Our team manages a significant pipeline of work, with an emphasis on education and development projects for Nottinghamshire County Council.

We're looking for an experienced Asbestos Assessor to join our established Compliance team. You'll play an important role in supporting the delivery of asbestos management services across a diverse property portfolio, undertaking surveys, providing technical advice, and supporting compliance with statutory requirements.

Working closely with colleagues across Arc Partnership, including project managers and multi-disciplinary teams, you'll help ensure asbestos risks are effectively identified, assessed, and managed across a range of public sector buildings.

Your new role

The Asbestos Assessor role is client facing, supporting the delivery of asbestos management and assessment services on behalf of Arc Partnership producing clear and accurate survey reports in line with current legislation and guidance.

You'll work closely with the Compliance Manager (Asbestos) as part of an existing team to support the effective management of asbestos, implementation of asbestos management plans, providing advice and guidance to internal teams, contractors, and clients.

The role will involve regular site visits across Nottinghamshire and the wider area, carrying out surveys in a variety of building types including schools, offices, and operational sites. You'll also support the review of asbestos registers and contribute to maintaining accurate records to support compliance with statutory duties.

What you'll bring

As our Asbestos Assessor, we're looking for someone who wants to make a difference, with experience of undertaking asbestos surveys or other asbestos related roles and supporting clients and stakeholders in managing asbestos safely and effectively.

You'll be organised, detail-focused, and confident working both independently on site and collaboratively with colleagues and clients.
