Arranging and overseeing specialist contractors for inspections, testing and repairs

Keeping on top of overdue inspections and outstanding actions, and using maintenance data to spot recurring problems and drive improvements
Ensuring all work is carried out safely, with permits, isolations, risk assessments and safe systems of work properly followed
Supporting COMAH, process safety and environmental compliance, including internal, external and regulatory audits and inspections
Escalating any significant defects or conditions that could affect safety, the environment or continued safe operation
