• Support commissioning, upgrade, and improvement projects across operational facilities.
• Ensure all maintenance activities are completed safely and in accordance with site procedures, RAMS, and Safe Systems of Work.
• Maintain accurate service records and technical documentation.
• Work closely with operations and engineering teams to minimise downtime and maximise plant performance.
