  • Track incidents, coordinate corrective and preventive actions, and participate in investigations.


Environmental Engagement & Field Work

  • Manage environmental enquiries or complaints professionally, building trust with external stakeholders.
  • Assist in operational environmental tasks and provide technical guidance when needed.
