- Produce clear and accurate environmental data for the Environmental Manager to support performance and risk management at a strategic level.
- Maintain all environmental documentation, including permits, consents, waste records, and audit findings, ensuring they are consistently up-to-date and compliant.
- Collaborate with technical specialists to assist in the implementation of practical, cost-effective mitigation strategies for environmental risks.
- Support ‘lessons learned’ reviews following environmental activities and incidents to drive continuous improvement in processes and performance.
- Develop and deliver targeted training, including toolbox talks and briefings, to manage risk and improve competency.
