1. Carrying out scheduled planned maintenance on plant and equipment in compliance with standards to improve resilience.
2. Operating and cleaning plant and equipment to maintain operational and safety standards.

4. Keeping sites clean and undertaking safety and security checks.
5. Working safely and complying with health and safety procedures.

Location: Wheatley STW - OX33 1JH
