Asbestos Auditor

Asbestos Auditor Required

London and the South East (Essex based office)

£35,000 – £40,000

Company car provided; 21 days of annual leave (+1 for your birthday); competitive overtime rates.

For this role, you do not require previous experience within an Asbestos Auditing position. What is necessary, is for you to have considerable expertise & knowledge with your BOHS P402, P403 and P404. You will be joining a respected consultancy with a strong presence across London and the South East who are growing along with Penguin Recruitment's assistance.

This role will suit an experienced asbestos professional who enjoys improving standards, supporting teams, and ensuring work is delivered properly rather than chasing high volume site targets. If you are currently auditing informally, mentoring surveyors, or acting as the technical go-to within your business, this is a chance to step into a clearly defined Asbestos Auditor position.

As an Asbestos Auditor, your focus will be on quality assurance and compliance across asbestos surveying operations. You will work closely with surveyors, project managers, and senior leadership to maintain high technical standards and support continuous improvement.

Your day-to-day work will include auditing asbestos surveys in line with HSG
264, reviewing reports for accuracy and risk assessment quality, and carrying out site audits to ensure correct methods, sampling, PPE, and documentation are being used. You will identify non-conformances, provide clear corrective actions, and support surveyors through feedback and mentoring rather than box ticking.

You will also play a key role in maintaining accreditations, supporting UKAS compliance, and preparing for external audits. This is not a high volume surveying role, and site visits are focused on auditing and assurance rather than production targets.

• Auditing asbestos survey reports for compliance, accuracy, and technical quality
• Carrying out site audits of asbestos surveyors across London and the South East
• Ensuring compliance with CAR 2012 and relevant guidance
• Producing clear audit reports and corrective action plans
• Supporting training, mentoring, and development of surveyors
• Assisting with UKAS accreditation and external audits
• Acting as a technical point of reference within the asbestos team

You will be an experienced asbestos professional with a strong technical background and a clear understanding of HSG
264 and asbestos legislation. You may already be working as an Asbestos Auditor, Technical Manager, Senior Surveyor, or in a similar quality-focused role.

You will be confident communicating with surveyors and senior stakeholders and comfortable providing constructive feedback.
