• Preparing and delivering performance reports and KPI updates in line with business, client and regulatory requirements.
• Providing proactive, visible on-site advice to ensure key processes and behaviours are embedded across work packages.
• Identifying occupational hygiene training needs, and preparing and delivering training where required.

• Completing any other reasonable tasks as assigned by your line manager.
