  • Keeping a record of instances where production services have been halted or limited.
  • Consistently contributing to the enhancement of team standards, considering best practices and efficiency.
  • Maintaining and pursuing your personal development plan.
  • Providing ad hoc support and assistance to the line manager as required.
  • Complying with Health and Safety regulations through safe working practices and Risk Assessments.
