(Trusted analysis. Clear decisions. Work that protects people.) Asbestos analysis isn’t about standing back and waiting for instructions. It’s about technical judgement, attention to detail, and producing results people can rely on — every single time. At Lucion, our analysts play a critical role in keeping people safe. From air monitoring to clearance certification, your work helps clients move projects forward with confidence and compliance. We’re a purpose-driven, beyond net‑zero business operating across 12 sectors worldwide, and we pride ourselves on doing things properly — without unnecessary noise.

We’re now looking for an Asbestos Analyst to join our Hazardous Materials team. This is a field‑based role, but we are looking for someone in the North‑West / Manchester area, with our office being in Preston Brook.

What You’ll Be Doing (And Why It Matters)

This is a hands‑on analytical role where accuracy and professionalism are essential. You’ll:

• Carry out air monitoring and airborne fibre counting in line with current legislation and guidance.
• Inspect contractors’ remediation works, completing the 4‑Stage Clearance (4SC) process — signing off compliant work or rejecting unsatisfactory removals.
• Accurately collect factual and numerical site data using a phablet device to generate high-quality reports through our award‑winning NexGen system.
• Work in full compliance with asbestos legislation and guidance, including HSG248, HSE requirements, and construction regulations.
• Maintain your personal QHSE documentation and follow internal assurance processes.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with clients, management, technical support teams, and fellow analysts.

In short: dependable analytical work that supports safe environments and compliant project delivery.

• Hold BOHS P403 and P404, RSPH equivalent qualifications, or a Certificate of Competence.
• Have a strong working knowledge of HSG248 (The Analysts’ Guide).
• Hold a full UK manual driving licence.
• Be flexible with travel and occasional out‑of‑hours working.
• Work confidently on your own while contributing effectively to a wider team.
• Bring a strong work ethic and a professional, measured approach on site.
• You’re reliable, well‑organised, and trusted to make the right call when it matters.
