• Asset Care & Equipment Management: Ensure all team equipment, tools, vehicles, and handheld devices are inspected, maintained, accounted for, and properly secured at shift end.

• Safety, Compliance & Risk Management: Lead daily Toolbox safety meetings, enforce strict SWP/SJP adherence and mandatory PPE compliance, and complete all safety, incident, and hazard reports.

• Mobile Tech & Site Logging: Utilize mobile applications (e.g., Aspire, Asset Tiger, SiteDocs) to log daily site entries, verify work completions, upload photos, track timekeeping, and communicate site progress to Field Supervisors and Dispatch.

• Team Culture & Operational Excellence: Promote high standards of workmanship, foster a positive, supportive team environment, and drive a strong safety culture.
