Additionally, you will work closely with the Health & Safety Manager to drive a continuous improvement culture in safety and operational processes.

Your role will also involve supporting the commissioning of new equipment, working alongside Process and Technical teams to develop appropriate working procedures and training programmes for operators where necessary.
