In this position, you'll oversee third-party processing activities at Lifecycle Oils contracted processing facility, ensuring seamless operations and adherence to established protocols for the intake, secure storage, processing, and dispatch of materials.

Your primary responsibility will be to verify that all processes align with the standards set for handling incoming materials, managing finished products, and accurate dispatching. A key focus will also be on accurate data collection, interpretation, and reporting to the Lifecycle Oils team in Walsall, which will support effective volume tracking and financial oversight.

• Information Flow and ISCC Compliance: Collaborate with the 3rd party to ensure smooth information flow for inbound and outbound loads, enabling accurate financial tracking and ensuring ISCC compliance for all site activities.
• Team Collaboration: Coordinate with the P&K team to meet daily operational targets effectively and efficiently.
• Environmental Compliance: While environmental compliance is the responsibility of the 3rd party, address any concerns promptly to uphold LCO's reputation as a responsible business.
• Flexible Scheduling: Be prepared to work in shifts or extended hours as needed to support production operations.
• Operational Improvement Support: Assist the 3rd party in identifying and implementing operational improvements, contributing to the significant scale-up required as part of LCO's broader business plan.

• Proven experience in conducting production activities safely, with strict adherence to safety guidelines and protocols.
• Background in the liquid processing industry.
