• Information Flow and ISCC Compliance: Collaborate with the 3rd party to ensure smooth information flow for inbound and outbound loads, enabling accurate financial tracking and ensuring ISCC compliance for all site activities.
• Team Collaboration: Coordinate with the P&K team to meet daily operational targets effectively and efficiently.
• Environmental Compliance: While environmental compliance is the responsibility of the 3rd party, address any concerns promptly to uphold LCO's reputation as a responsible business.
• Flexible Scheduling: Be prepared to work in shifts or extended hours as needed to support production operations.
• Operational Improvement Support: Assist the 3rd party in identifying and implementing operational improvements, contributing to the significant scale-up required as part of LCO's broader business plan.

Experience, Skills & Qualifications
To excel in this role, you should demonstrate:

• Proven experience in conducting production activities safely, with strict adherence to safety guidelines and protocols.
• Background in the liquid processing industry.
• Valid Forklift Truck (FLT) certification.
• IOSH Managing Safely certification (entry-level qualification).
