• Managing depot documentation, records and digital filing systems.
• Maintaining site noticeboards and safety communications.
• Building and maintaining positive relationships with customers, suppliers and site personnel.
• Reporting unsafe acts, positive observations and near misses.
• Promoting a safe, tidy and organised working environment at all times.
• Supporting projects at operational locations when required.

• Strong understanding of health and safety principles and practices.
