Job Details

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 £22,100.00 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 £35 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 £30-40k 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.

Company

The Safeline Story

Safeline was established by two analysts who initially intended to setup an asbestos consultancy and laboratory. However, they were constantly confronted with the same issues on site when dealing with traditional asbestos removal companies. Namely deficiencies in:

  • Standard of workmanship / attention to detail
  • Worker attitude / communication skills
  • Staff presentation / lack of uniform
  • Site documentation / record keeping
  • Standard of removal equipment / maintenance

From this, Safeline was born with a view to running an asbestos removal company to analytical laboratory standards. By concentrating on these deficiencies, although individually not seen as significant, combined add up to a significant differentiator in the market.

We’re a national company; 50% of our business is insurance based, working direct for insurers, drying companies, claims management companies and also within contractor networks, the other 50% is public sector or commercial, we work with hospitals, schools, and many large companies who are proactively managing their asbestos.
