You’ll also be expected to be an ace initiative when it comes to reducing food waste for all cafeterias.

These qualities will be helpful during client meetings and formal presentations with senior management, and in drafting technical reports and training materials. With your eloquence, it will also be easier for you to train staff and get them on board any new initiatives.

Strategically savvy
This position is a perfect opportunity for you to bring in your operational expertise, as you generate well thought out policies and strategies. You should also be able to carry out audits and dig through evidence through observation, interview and sampling of documentation and records.
