Interim Asbestos Quality Control Officer Location: Hampshire Rate: £350 £450 per day IR35: Outside IR35 Working Pattern: Hybrid (More frequent site attendance required initially) Panoramic Associates is supporting a local authority with the appointment of an Asbestos Quality Control Officer. The Council has a significant amount of asbestos information to manage, and the quality of that information matters. We are looking for an experienced asbestos professional who can provide an additional layer of technical scrutiny, ensuring survey and analytical reports are accurate, compliant, and fit for purpose before they are relied upon to make important decisions about buildings and residents. You'll need relevant BOHS qualifications, such as P402 and P405 or equivalent, alongside a strong understanding of asbestos legislation and HSE guidance. Most importantly, you'll have the technical knowledge to identify problems that others may miss.

Where you identify issues, you'll provide clear and constructive feedback to surveyors and analysts, helping them understand what needs to be corrected and why. You'll also review documentation against relevant HSE guidance and asbestos legislation, ensuring the organisation has confidence in the quality of the information it holds. As you become familiar with the existing processes, you'll be expected to identify recurring issues and opportunities to improve how asbestos surveys, analytical reports, and associated documentation are produced and quality assured. This is a role that requires technical confidence and attention to detail, but also the ability to communicate effectively with experienced asbestos professionals and challenge work where necessary. Essential Experience: BOHS P402 and P405 qualifications, or equivalent Proven experience in asbestos surveying, analysis, or consultancy Strong knowledge of asbestos legislation and relevant HSE guidance Experience reviewing technical asbestos documentation Excellent attention to detail Ability to provide clear, constructive feedback to surveyors and analysts Interested? If you have the technical asbestos experience to provide robust quality assurance and are available for an interim assignment, I'd be happy to have a confidential conversation. If this particular role isn't right for you, it's still worth getting in touch. Panoramic Associates works with Local Authorities and Housing Providers across the UK, supporting interim and permanent appointments across Asbestos, Compliance, Building Safety, Fire Safety, and Property Services.
