• Respond effectively to emergencies, adverse situations, and after‑hours building requirements with a proactive and professional approach.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to enhance facilities, processes, and working practices, while supporting additional Engineering and operational projects as required.

You will play a key role in ensuring our facilities and infrastructure operate safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption. Through proactive maintenance, problem-solving, and attention to detail, you’ll help maintain high standards across the site while supporting business continuity and operational performance.
