You’ll see Ange quarterly for both formal site audits and informal check-ins, making sure everything is running smoothly.

He also conducts monthly audits, files site reports in our online CMS, and is responsible for maintaining a high standard of quality and service delivery. He is also responsible for performing risk assessment and finalising each site’s SWMS, new site inductions, training staff and ensuring sites and workers are compliant with OH&S guidelines.
