Job Description

Asbestos Project Manager

Location: Midlands
Salary: 40,000 - 43,000 (dependent on experience)

This is a strong opportunity for an experienced Asbestos Project Manager who enjoys full ownership of projects, close client interaction, and the autonomy to deliver work properly from start to finish. You'll be joining a well-established asbestos consultancy with a solid industry reputation, a consistent pipeline of work, and a genuine commitment to supporting project managers rather than stretching them thin.

If you're looking for a role where your experience is trusted, your judgement is respected, and projects are set up to succeed, this is well worth a conversation.



Why Join

  • 37.5-hour working week

  • 20 days annual leave plus bank holidays, plus 5 loyalty days

  • Employee Assistance Programme

  • Death in service cover (2x salary after 6 months' service)

  • Company vehicle or car allowance

  • Regular company social events, including summer BBQs



The Role

As Asbestos Project Manager, you'll manage asbestos projects across the Midlands, with occasional work in London. Acting as the main point of contact for clients, you'll coordinate internal teams and subcontractors to ensure work is delivered safely, compliantly, and to a consistently high standard.

This role suits someone confident in decision-making, clear in client communication, and comfortable keeping projects moving without unnecessary delays.



Key Responsibilities

  • Acting as the primary client contact throughout the project lifecycle

  • Attending project meetings and working closely with Project Coordinators to ensure smooth delivery

  • Preparing, reviewing, and approving Risk Assessment Method Statements

  • Managing the production, quality, and completion of asbestos survey reports and drawings

  • Ensuring accurate and timely invoicing

  • Organising teams, resources, and schedules to meet commercial and client requirements

  • Coordinating employees and subcontractors on site

  • Resolving operational issues and escalating where required

  • Providing technical input to support sales activity, including site visits

  • Maintaining a professional, organised approach both on site and in the office



Required Experience

  • BOHS P402 or RSPH Level 3 (essential)

  • Full UK driving licence

  • Minimum 12 months' experience as an Asbestos Project Manager within a UKAS-accredited consultancy

  • BOHS P403 & P404 beneficial, though hands-on project management experience is the priority

  • Confident communicator with clients, surveyors, analysts, and office teams

  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage workloads, priorities, and deadlines



Flexibility

  • Some projects may involve night work or variable hours

  • Responsibility for managing and mentoring surveyors and analysts

  • Occasional out-of-hours contact for live project matters

  • Travel across the Midlands, with occasional travel to London
