All work will be completed to the highest standards, in an efficient and cost-effective manner, whilst complying with the laid-down Company Health and Safety policy.

*

Provide on-job coaching & training where required, e.g. toolbox talks, H&S training.

*

Complete and document initial return to work interviews / welfare meetings.

*

Complete probationary and check-in reviews for refrigeration engineers in the team.

*

Support the Operations Manager in the recruitment of new refrigeration engineers.

*

Act as first point of contact and support the Operations Manager for escalations within your allocated stores.

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

*

*

Previous team leadership / supervisor experience would be advantageous.

*

Excellent communication skills (both written and verbally).

*
