Occupational Hygienist / Indoor Air Quality Consultant

DustScanAQ is a small, independent, employee-owned environmental consultancy firm based in Oxfordshire that specialises in dust and air quality monitoring, consultancy and assessment. We are currently looking for an early career Occupational Hygienist / IAQ Consultant to join our growing team at an exciting time as our client and project portfolio continues to expand.

The work will initially involve carrying out primarily occupational air (dust, fibre, VOC, gas etc.) and noise exposure monitoring assessments at a wide variety of interesting sites and preparing interpretative reports. Additional work may include LEV testing depending on demand, and additional training will be provided as required. Support will also be required with handling enquiries and quotations for new work and developing opportunities.

The position is mainly desk/office based in Witney (Oxfordshire, UK), but will require regular site-based work throughout the UK. Applicants must be eligible to work in the UK and have a full UK driving license, 1-2 years previous relevant air and/or noise monitoring experience and pre-existing BOHS membership is desirable. Knowledge of other IAQ guidelines (such as BREEAM) and experience with LEV testing would also be advantageous. Applicants should have studied to A-level or equivalent level but ideally have a relevant degree e.g. Environmental Science or Occupational Hygiene.

The position would suit early careers candidates with more of a practical, site monitoring technician background who are keen to develop their data interpretation and consultancy skills. Full training will be provided as well as other benefits including:

• Joining a growing employee-owned business (EOB) - employees become co-owners and equal beneficiaries of the DustScan Trust after their probationary period
• EOB profit shares
• 7% company pension contributions
• Private medical and dental care
• 25 days annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays with 0.5 days added with each 2 years service
• Payment of professional memberships and CPD support
• Flexible working arrangements as your career progresses
• Octopus EV company car scheme (subject to eligibility)
• Access to company vehicle fleet, with personal vehicle use for company business reimbursed at £0.63 / mile.

Attention to detail is essential in this role, as are excellent customer service/communication skills and the ideal candidate will be confident working both individually (on site) and in a team environment. As we're a small, specialist environmental consultancy we also value individuals who develop an interest in all aspects of our business. Assisting in other areas of our work may be required at times including occasionally installing and servicing ambient and indoor air quality monitoring equipment and potentially support with some laboratory work.

Our core values are collaboration, professionalism and the application of scientific rigour. As an EOB we are motivated by our collective success, development and wellbeing. We strive for a culture of transparency, diversity and respect for all. As environmental consultants we are acutely aware of our need to operate sustainably, ethically and responsibly.
