• Implement @one policies, procedures and statutory legal regulations paying specific attention to HSE legislation.
• Collaborate with and lead others to plan your works to minimise health and safety hazards.
• Ensure you and the site team keeps an accurate and detailed site records for all works. Communicate any change to the site management.
• Supporting the Site Manager to liaise with the Engineering and Integration team to resolve engineering conflicts and ensure work is carried out in line with specifications, digital models and drawings.
