This includes conducting regular property audits, performing maintenance diagnostics, and defining multi-year investment plans for each location. You'll stay up-to-date with innovative technical designs and methods to identify opportunities for operational cost savings and a decrease in our CO2 emissions.

• Collaborate and expand. You'll work with global peers to integrate best practices and improve our tools and processes. You'll also continuously conduct market studies to expand our list of potential construction company vendors.
