Tasks may flex up/down or across teams (operations, technical, commercial, procurement, quality, safety, logistics, etc.) depending on project needs; maintain a proactive, solution-focused attitude. Works may occasionally require weekend or night shifts, so a rotation system may be expected in line with project requirements.
