What could the future look like?
There’s no limit to what you can achieve while working with Life Environmental Services. Their team is at the heart of what they do, and they are looking for someone who wants to play a key part in that long term. As a successful applicant, you have the potential to secure a full-time position with the business at the end of your apprenticeship.
Through practical ‘on-the-job’ training you’ll have the opportunity to learn new skills to provide competency and responsibility in carrying out testing and to help develop your career.

About you
Working in the asbestos field demands accuracy, diligence, and a strong sense of accountability. That’s why we’re looking for someone who approaches tasks with care, a methodical approach and the ability to pay close attention to every detail.
You’ll need to be results-driven, with the ability to spot issues quickly and accurately record your findings. Because the work can change quickly on site, you should be comfortable thinking on your feet and confident in making sound decisions when it counts.
Health and safety is at the heart of everything we do, so you’ll need to demonstrate a genuine commitment to safe working practices, along with a willingness to continually learn and follow asbestos industry standards and regulations.
