Oversee and continuously improve integrated management systems aligned to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001
Support emergency preparedness, including response planning, drills, and Major Accident Prevention Policy (MAPP) development
Manage contractor activities and ensure safe delivery of projects across site
Promote and embed a positive, proactive health and safety culture at all levels of the organisation
