Maintain a strong WHS focus by continually assessing risks and working safely at all times.
Complete accurate service reporting, including documentation of faults identified and corrective actions taken, and ensure all compliance paperwork is submitted correctly.
Build and maintain strong client relationships through professional communication, workmanship and service delivery.
Stay informed of HVAC industry developments and apply updated practices and knowledge in day-to-day work.
