  • Prepare for and support internal and external audits with complete documentation.
  • Infrastructure & Safety Oversight

  • Supervise all plant infrastructure, including dairy equipment, utilities, and BMC centers.
  • Identify damaged or obsolete equipment for timely disposal or replacement.
  • Uphold a strong culture of safety, cleanliness, and environmental sustainability.
