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.

Skills, Knowledge, and Experience

About You 

To thrive in this role, you will need: 
  • An enjoyment for hands-on, practical work - you should be willing to get stuck in and learn from the offset! 
  • To be focused and careful in all aspects of work, with good attention to detail 
  • To be able to think on your feet and follow instructions and health & safety guidelines clearly - due to the environment and nature of the role 
  • Comfortable using computers and Microsoft Office 
  • Confident communicator and a positive team player
  • If you currently hold some experience of working with tools and technical equipment, it's beneficial but not required!

Please note, due to the nature of the role, you must be aged 18+ and a hold a full manual driving license. Additionally, a DBS will be required as part of the onboarding process should you be successful.  

Experience 

Whilst previous experience is great, we’re not just interested in experience and qualifications; we’re looking for someone with the right attitude and aptitude to fit right in at Eton Environmental Services.  
 
Qualifications 

It’s about enthusiasm, not school results. In our experience the most successful apprentices are those who are driven to find out more about the sector, can be up front about what they do and don’t already know, are considerate, self-reflective, and impatient to learn the job role!  


So how does the apprenticeship work?

At Tiro we’re obsessed with changing lives through science and technology apprenticeships so we can’t wait to have you on board.

Over 21 months, you’ll devote a minimum of 6 hours of your working week on ‘off the job’ training. This can include theory training (for example, virtual lessons & online learning), alongside practical training (for example shadowing, mentoring, & time spent writing assignments. Together this will count towards a Level 3 Asbestos Surveyor and Analyst qualification. You’ll be trained by an expert tutor from Tiro as well as an experienced mentor at Eton Environmental Group who together, will make sure you develop the knowledge, skills, and work habits you’ll need to succeed in your career.

Being an apprentice is hands-on, so you’ll get the chance to learn things you might otherwise not have experienced in a university or college environment.

The best part? You’ll be earning a salary while you gain your qualifications, meaning no huge student loans to pay back at the end of the programme!

Eligibility 

While we never want to hinder your job application process with obstacles, there are some minimum requirements you’ll need to meet in order to do an apprenticeship, these are rules set by the UK Government.

As a training provider, we are committed to ensuring that our apprenticeship programs deliver significant new knowledge and skills. To be eligible, applicants must demonstrate that the program will provide learning and experiences beyond their current qualifications and professional expertise.   

If you already hold a Level 3, degree or equivalent higher-level qualification in a closely related field, or possess substantial relevant experience, you may not be eligible for apprenticeship funding, as these programmes are designed for individuals who require upskilling or reskilling in their chosen career pathway.
 
You’ll need to be over 16, not in full time education, have lived in the UK for 3 years and have the right to work in the UK.
 
If you don’t quite meet these minimum requirements yet, let us know you’re interestedhereand we’ll get in touch to discuss this further with you.
