In this role, you'll work closely with operational teams and managers to develop and maintain systems that support Health & Safety, Environmental and Quality standards across Bioresources.

• Building strong relationships with operational teams and stakeholders, providing guidance and helping drive continuous improvement across the business.

• Experience working with a range of stakeholders, from operational teams through to senior management, with the ability to communicate technical information clearly and confidently.
• Strong analytical skills, with experience using data, dashboards and reporting tools to monitor performance and drive improvements.
• Knowledge of management systems, compliance processes, environmental regulations or operational environments.
• A proactive, self-motivated approach with excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
