Asbestos Analyst in Manchester

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, with a particular focus around Manchester, suited to a qualified analyst who values quality, structure, and professional standards.

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.

About You (Qualified, Calm, Technically Sound)

You understand the responsibility that comes with asbestos analysis — and you take it seriously. You’ll likely:

• 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.
