- Working at height from podium steps, tower scaffolding, and MEWP platforms in full compliance with WAHR 2005
- Colour matching and decorative finishing on feature walls and management-area spaces to client specification
- Daily site diary completion, material usage logging, and end-of-day quality walk-arounds with the site foreman
- Adherence to COSHH regulations — correct storage, labelling, and disposal of all coating materials and solvents
