Refurbish previously used equipment, including cleaning and replacing faulty or missing parts.

Return repaired equipment to the WSV calibration process.

Keep the WSV work area clean, organised and safe.

Assist with other project requirements when necessary.

Support other areas of the staging facility, which may include SCO staging, equipment branding, Clean Room and Boots Room activities.

Work proactively and assist other team members when your allocated tasks have been completed.

Have a basic understanding of workplace Health & Safety, manual handling and electrical safety.

Be comfortable using pallet trucks and handling equipment safely.
