  • Work closely with operational teams, contractors, and engineering colleagues to deliver maintenance activities, capital projects, refurbishments, and equipment replacement programmes.
  • Ensure all work is completed in line with health and safety standards, company procedures, and engineering best practice.
  • Identify opportunities to improve asset reliability, performance, and maintenance strategies to enhance operational efficiency.
