Core Capabilities
Technical Learning Agility
- You will thrive on developing specialist technical knowledge and applying it within real-world environments. This role will suit someone who enjoys learning, solving technical challenges and building expertise within a regulated industry. A genuine commitment to personal development and achieving apprenticeship milestones will be key to your success.
Health, Safety and Compliance Focus
- Safety sits at the heart of everything we do. You'll develop a detailed understanding of health, safety and regulatory requirements while working within a highly controlled environment. Success in this role requires a disciplined approach, strong attention to detail and a commitment to following procedures that protect colleagues, clients and the wider public.
Data Accuracy and Technical Reporting

An enquiring mindset and a desire to understand how things work will help you develop into a trusted technical professional.
About You
You’re someone who prefers being out on site rather than behind a desk, and you’re comfortable working in environments like construction, demolition, or industrial settings. Early starts, travel, and changing locations don’t put you off — in fact, you enjoy the variety and the sense of purpose that comes with hands-on work.
You take safety seriously and understand the importance of following procedures properly. Working to strict rules, method statements, and risk assessments feels natural to you, and you don’t cut corners. You’re calm, focused, and able to stay composed even in regulated environments where inspections, audits, or oversight are part of the job.
You’re practical by nature and learn best by doing. Repetition and routine don’t bother you — you see them as part of building consistency and getting things right every time. You’re comfortable using equipment, following technical processes, and working in PPE or RPE for extended periods when required.
You can work independently once trained, taking responsibility for your tasks, but you also communicate clearly with teammates and supervisors to make sure work is completed safely and correctly. You’re motivated by doing work that matters — contributing to environmental safety, compliance, and protecting public health.
You value clear expectations, stability, and progression. You’re interested in building a long-term career, developing your skills step by step, and moving forward into roles such as surveyor or analyst over time.
Please note: You must be 18+ due to the nature of the working environment
Please note: A full UK manual driving licence is required for this role
