  • Ensure the safe and secure storage of all store assets-including pump trucks, forklifts, and electric vehicles-as well as contractor materials, with up-to-date COSHH documentation maintained. Additionally, oversee the cleanliness and consistent supply of all satellite stores across the site.
  • Ensure full health and safety and fire safety compliance in all areas of work.
