About the job

Every AKFAL crew of any size has an HSE officer on site from the first day. HSE officers deliver inductions and toolbox talks, review permits, inspect the work area and equipment, stop work when needed, and report to both AKFAL and the client's safety department.

Questions applicants ask

Do I need experience?

Yes — three or more years as a safety officer on industrial sites, plus NEBOSH or OSHA. Safety training alone without site experience is not enough.

Which certificates do I need?

NEBOSH IGC is the standard; OSHA 30 is accepted. First aid and fire-fighting certificates are expected too.

Iqama, transfer and visa

Officers with a transferable Iqama are placed first. Saudi nationals with the same certificates are especially welcome for this role.

Hours and shifts

Day shifts on maintenance contracts; during shutdowns HSE cover runs across all crew shifts, with paid overtime.

How is salary decided?

Set from certificates and experience and fixed in the written offer. Not published.
