* Empty bins and manage waste segregation and recycling, including hazardous waste handling as directed
* Keep walkways, fire exits and emergency routes clear and free of debris
* Carry out Foreign Object Debris (FOD) sweeps in and around the hangar and apron areas
* Clean windows, doors, fixtures and fittings
* Tidy external areas around the site, including car parks and entrances
* Monitor and restock cleaning supplies and consumables, collecting supplies when needed

Desirable
* Experience in an aviation, engineering or manufacturing environment
