We are looking for a Trainee Asbestos Removal Operative to join our team based in Kidderminster, DY10.
Safeline Environmental is a leading licensed asbestos removal and management company employing over 50 people. We work nationwide across all sectors of industry ranging from blue chip multinational companies to private individuals. Our core business is working for leading insurers on domestic and commercial insurance claims. We remove all types of asbestos from bonded low risk materials such as asbestos cement garages to high-risk friable asbestos spray coatings.
We have grown our business over the last 15 years based on professionalism and reliability. We do not use subcontracted labour and prefer to employ and train people who have not been in the asbestos industry before.
The successful candidate will receive a basic salary of GBP23,400 per annum and undertake the following training:
- Non-Licensed asbestos removal operative training
- Medical examination
- Face fit testing for half face and full face RPE
- Work at height training
- Manual handing training
- Internal equipment maintenance and usage training
You will receive a full company uniform, all PPE/RPE. You are entitled to 28 days paid holiday inclusive of bank holidays. After one year's service birthdays are given as holiday in addition to this entitlement and we pay for a celebratory meal with your family.
After 6-12 months the successful candidate will undergo additional training to remove high risk licensed asbestos containing materials. When undertaking higher risk licensed asbestos removal works you will be paid an additional daily uplift.
The role will include travelling nationally to different sites each day. Sometimes it will be necessary to stay away for larger projects. We provide hotel accommodation in either a travel lodge or premier inn with an allowance of GBP35 per day for subsistence which is added to your pay with no receipts required.
Occasionally, you will be asked to undertake works outside normal hours and will be rewarded with additional overtime payments.
A fully qualified asbestos removal operative as Safeline with one years experience typically earns GBP30-40k per annum
The ideal candidate will:
- Hold a full and clean UK driving license
- Have their own transport to travel to our Kidderminster site
- Be over 21 (due to insurance requirements)
After two years as an asbestos removal operative we would look to progress with additional training as a team leader leading to asbestos removal supervisor.
