Pragma and Associates Ltd are looking to recruit an Occupational Hygienist to work in our expanding Occupational Hygiene team.

You will have the opportunity to develop your career by working collaboratively within a highly experienced and friendly team. The clients you will support are typically leading companies in a diverse range of industries with a positive attitude to ensuring the health of their workforce.
