• Keeps management informed of major accomplishments, issues, and concerns.
• Follows standardised procedures to successfully complete unannounced audits.
• Builds and maintains relationships with internal and external stakeholders to maintain a safe and secure environment.
• Splits time equally between sites, building familiarity with each location, leading the team, building the program, and coaching for success.
