• Train and guide junior staff to improve skill levels and productivity

Progress & Reporting

• Track progress against program and report on daily/weekly activities

Quality & Safety Control

• Conduct toolbox talks, safety briefings, and ensure OHS compliance at all times
• Work closely with engineers, site agents, and safety officers to maintain a compliant and productive work environment
