Job Introduction
Asbestos Surveyor / Analyst (Dual-Trained)
Essential work. Trusted expertise. Done properly — every time.
🌊 What if your next career move came with a change of scenery?
Fancy building your career in a part of the country where the coast, countryside and great places to explore are never far away?
We’re looking for an experienced Dual-Trained Asbestos Surveyor / Analyst to join our Hazardous Materials team, based in Barnstaple and covering North Devon and the surrounding area.
This is an opportunity to bring your technical expertise to a business that values quality, professional judgement and doing things properly — while enjoying everything that North Devon and the wider Devon area have to offer.
You’ll be doing highly skilled, genuinely important work that helps keep people, buildings and projects safe — with the beaches, coastline and countryside of Devon never too far away.
Great career. Great location. And plenty to explore when the working day is done.
Let’s be upfront — asbestos surveying and analysis isn’t light work.
It takes experience, technical knowledge, attention to detail, sound judgement and the confidence to make the right call when it matters.
But it is also important, highly skilled work that makes a genuine difference to people’s safety every single day.
At Lucion, we don’t approach asbestos surveying and analytical services as a tick-box exercise. We deliver accurate, defensible surveys and analytical services that clients rely on to manage risk properly — protecting people, buildings and projects across the UK.
We’re a purpose-driven, beyond net-zero business working across 12 sectors worldwide, and we take pride in combining technical excellence with a calm, professional approach.
Our people are trusted to use their expertise, make sound decisions and deliver work they can stand behind.
If you value quality, accuracy and doing things the right way, you’ll feel at home here.
What You’ll Be Doing — And Why It Matters
This is a varied, hands-on role where your expertise directly supports safer buildings and better decision-making.
You’ll be working across Barnstaple, North Devon and the surrounding Devon area, visiting a variety of sites and putting your technical knowledge and practical experience to work.
You’ll:
- Carry out all disciplines of asbestos surveying and inspection, including management, refurbishment, demolition and asbestos in the ground.
- Undertake air monitoring and airborne fibre counting.
- Inspect contractors’ remediation work and complete 4-stage clearance, signing off compliant works — or challenging them when they’re not right.
- Collect accurate site data using a phablet device, feeding directly into high-quality reports via our award-winning NexGen system.
- Work in line with all relevant asbestos legislation and guidance, including HSG248 and HSG264.
- Maintain your own QHSE documentation and comply with internal assurance processes.
- Provide a professional, approachable service to clients — answering queries and offering clear, specialist advice when needed.
- Represent Lucion professionally on site, building strong relationships with clients, contractors and other stakeholders.
- Take ownership of the quality and accuracy of your work, ensuring surveys, analytical activities, records and reports meet the required standards.
No two days are necessarily the same, and you’ll have the opportunity to work across a range of environments and projects.
You’ll be trusted to use your experience and judgement, with the support of a wider professional team when you need it.
In short: trusted technical work, delivered professionally, with no corners cut.
About You — Experienced, Reliable & Calm Under Pressure
You know the job.
You understand the responsibility.
And you take pride in getting it right.
You’ll ideally:
- Hold BOHS P402, P403 and/or P404, RSPH equivalents, or a Certificate of Competence.
- Have a working knowledge of HSG248 — The Analysts’ Guide and HSG264 — The Survey Guide.
- Hold a full UK manual driving licence.
- Be comfortable travelling and working flexibly when required.
- Be happy working across different sites and environments throughout Devon and the surrounding area.

Most importantly, you take responsibility for the quality of your work.
You understand that when it comes to asbestos, the details matter.
