Analyst in South East

Job Title: Asbestos Analyst
Location: Kent
Salary: Up to £40,000 (DOE)

Penguin Recruitment is delighted to be supporting an established asbestos and environmental consultancy in their search for an experienced Asbestos Analyst to join their team on a permanent, static-site contract in Kent.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced analyst looking to move away from the constant travelling, multiple site visits, and four-stage clearances typically associated with field-based analytical roles.

The successful candidate will be based at one static site, working Monday to Friday, 8:00am - 4:00pm, providing a consistent working environment and a more predictable daily routine.

With an on-site laboratory, a competitive salary of up to £40,000, and a company van with fuel card, this is an attractive opportunity for an analyst seeking stability and a better work-life balance.

You'll be joining an established environmental consultancy delivering asbestos analytical and compliance services across the UK.

The position is based at a dedicated site in Kent, where you'll be responsible for carrying out routine analytical duties, including reassurance testing, background monitoring, personal monitoring, and air sampling.

Unlike many traditional Asbestos Analyst positions, this role involves no four-stage clearances, making it particularly appealing to someone who enjoys analytical work but wants to avoid travelling between multiple sites every day.
