This position offers a clear opportunity to grow into a Maintenance Supervisor role, eventually managing independent teams and larger projects.

• Ensure proper PPE usage and uniform compliance
• Monitor safe operation of tools, equipment and property
• Identify and promptly report safety concerns.

Documentation & Reporting

• Prepare and complete maintenance checklists and work documentation to the Maintenance Manager
• Capture and share before, during and after photos
