Communication
Communication is oral / written and mostly internal with the site manager and client’s staff. Communication is generally straightforward. From time to time the job holder will liaise with contractors working inside the client’s sites or areas of responsibility, and at times with visitors.
Liaison
The client’s image can be affected by the job holder’s dealings with visitors and the media. While dealing with client’s personnel at all levels, the client’s costs and operational efficiency are influenced; the post holder also has a requirement to liaise with inspectors and governing bodies that may come to the client’s sites or areas of responsibility.
Mental Demands
Judgement and Decision Making: Work is allocated to the job holder who, in most cases, decides how to tackle it, sometimes with the help of specifications and drawings. There is consultation within the team regarding the work plan. From time to time the job holder is requested to change work priorities. Routine decisions are made daily, based either on personal experience, own initiative or following discussions with the client’s appointed contact.
Original thought and problem solving: Many tasks involve original thought. Common problems arising are usually technical in nature and are solved independently using past experience and knowledge; sometimes there is a need for design. On occasion, help will be sought from the Site Manager or Client’s appointed contact regarding unusual problems.
Concentration: There is a need to be alert at all times, but a particularly high level of concentration is required when working on machinery and specific detail needs to be paid to Health and Safety guidelines. The client’s unique environment requires extra concentration and due diligence to Health and Safety and locking procedures especially with regard to working in or around any animal enclosure. On occasion during an emergency, a lone working environment may exist and due diligence to lone working procedures must be always adhered to.
Flexibility: Tasks cover a wide range of activities. The number of interruptions daily is very variable. These are always from internal sources, usually the Supervisor or other Pareto staff. Depending on priorities, the job holder will either respond immediately or deal with the matter at a later date. The post holder may be asked to carry out tasks outside of their general duties.
Working Conditions: The job holder is required to work in a variety of conditions; these may be outside, in adverse weather conditions, personal risk (especially with machines), noise (e.g. machinery) and pollution (e.g. dust).
