DustScanAQ is pleased to offer the position of Occupational Hygienist / Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Consultant. We are a small, independent, employee-owned environmental consultancy firm based in Oxfordshire that specialises in dust and air quality monitoring, consultancy and assessment. Employees of our business also become co-owners and eligible for equal profit shares irrespective of position. 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.
