* Empty bins and manage waste segregation and recycling, including hazardous waste handling as directed

* Keep walkways, fire exits and emergency routes clear and free of debris

* Carry out Foreign Object Debris (FOD) sweeps in and around the hangar and apron areas

* Clean windows, doors, fixtures and fittings

* Tidy external areas around the site, including car parks and entrances

* Monitor and restock cleaning supplies and consumables, collecting supplies when needed

* Operate cleaning equipment such as floor scrubbers and pressure washers safely

* Report any damage, hazards or maintenance issues to the site supervisor

* Follow all site health and safety, COSHH and airside procedures

Desirable

* Experience in an aviation, engineering or manufacturing environment

* Background and criminal record checks for an airport ID pass

* Site health and safety induction on day one

* PPE provided (hi-vis, safety boots and gloves as required)
