  • Report broken fittings, leaks or empty stock to the site supervisor
  • Empty bins and take waste to the correct recycling or general skip
  • Clean the kitchenette, wash cups and wipe down the fridge and microwave

  • Able to start early, often 05:00 or 06:00
  • Able to stand, bend and walk for a full shift
  • You take pride in a job done properly, even when nobody checks
