• Ensure Food Safe, HACCP, sanitation, and workplace safety standards are consistently maintained.
• Supports organisational sustainability goals by incorporating environmentally responsible practices into daily work and minimising environmental impact.
• Identifies opportunities within their role to reduce waste, conserve resources, and enhance sustainable operations.
• Utilises Microsoft 365 tools (including Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, and other authorised systems) and approved AI technologies to support collaboration, communication, and work efficiency.
