The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing the smooth delivery of asbestos-related contracts, ensuring projects run efficiently, safely, and in full compliance with company policies and current legislation.

In this role, you will manage contract administration, ensuring survey appointments are scheduled and daily targets are met. You will liaise with clients regularly, attend meetings to discuss progress and findings, and ensure that the highest levels of service and professionalism are maintained at all times.
