  • Carry out regular checks of fire extinguishers, emergency exits, alarms, and safety signage
  • Support emergency drills and help keep equipment in good working order

General Site Coordination

  • Help monitor stock levels of supplies (PPE, cleaning items, maintenance materials)
  • Provide general administrative support as needed

  • Good communication skills and a positive, can-do attitude
