  • Build and manage strong relationships with key customers and plant operators at a senior level.
  • Identify and manage operational and contractual risks, escalating issues where required.
  • Lead, develop and performance‑manage the operations team.
  • Plan and coordinate maintenance activities to maximise plant availability and minimise downtime.
