• Collaboration: Work closely with Operations, Maintenance and Environmental teams to align safety, quality and compliance across the whole facility.

What you’ll bring

• Influential leadership: A track record of positively shaping thinking and behaviour—able to win hearts and minds, not just write procedures.
