- Support and enforce safe systems of work, permit to work, LOTO, confined space, and other high-hazard controls across all shift activities
- Monitor and report on Facilities KPIs including PPM compliance, breakdown response times, and backlog, identifying and driving improvement actions
- Liaise closely with the Facilities Manager, EHS, Manufacturing, and R&M teams to ensure Facilities service delivery meets site and customer needs
