• Documentation of work performed and equipment usage in the CMMS or site logs
• Mentoring and guiding Level 1 technicians during joint operations
• Close collaboration with EHS, engineering, maintenance teams, and external partners
• If no rope access work is ongoing, any other work will be assigned within the technical service team and scope
