Confidence working with SAP, batch documentation, and DCS interfaces.

Ability to work safely in field based environments, including confined spaces and manual handling tasks.

Great communication skills for effective shift handover and teamwork.

High attention to detail and accuracy in operational and safety documentation.

A proactive, problem solving mindset with willingness to escalate issues promptly.
