- Be responsible for the calibration and maintenance of company equipment and vehicles, ensuring they are kept in line with quality assurance requirements.
- Accurately manage and report field data to Data Analysts, identifying and reporting any deviations or non-conformances that could impact data quality.
- Review your own schedules and work closely with the Scheduling team to improve fieldwork efficiency.
- Keep safety at the forefront of all fieldworks, proactively reporting near misses or accidents and remaining compliant with the ‘Stay Safe’ remote working application.
- Collaborate with your regional team to maintain morale and assist with the on-site training and onboarding of new employees.
- Identify potential works on-site that could benefit the client and provide commercial opportunities for the business.
