This page is for HSE Officer work at Jafurah. The same trade is hired at other locations too — see below.
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. The company's stop-work authority is real and the officer is the person who exercises it.
What you will do
- Deliver site inductions and daily toolbox talks in the crew's languages
- Review permits to work, JSAs and lifting plans before work starts
- Inspect work areas, PPE, scaffolds and equipment; record findings
- Investigate incidents and near misses; report to AKFAL and the client
- Keep HSE statistics and training records for the contract
What we look for
- 3 years or more as an HSE officer on industrial or construction sites
- NEBOSH IGC or OSHA 30 minimum; IOSH Managing Safely a plus
- Knows Saudi labour and safety regulations and client HSE standards
- Confident speaking to crews in English and at least one of Arabic, Hindi or Urdu
- Reports in written English
Certificates that help
- NEBOSH IGC or OSHA 30-hour
- IOSH Managing Safely
- First aid and fire-fighting certificates
- Aramco or SABIC safety induction, if held
Working in Jafurah
The Jafurah gas field, south-east of Al-Ahsa, is being developed in phases by Saudi Aramco with international EPC contractors. It is a construction environment rather than a running plant: gas processing trains, pipelines, compression and utilities being built at the same time, which means sustained demand for welders, pipe fitters, riggers, scaffolders, electricians and certified operators over several years.
Plants and projects
- Jafurah gas processing plant and compression facilities
- Field gathering pipelines and well sites
- Utilities, power and water infrastructure for the field
- EPC contractor camps and laydown yards
Typical work
- Construction crews for piping, structural and electrical scopes
- Pre-commissioning and commissioning support
- Crane, telehandler and heavy-transport hire to EPC contractors
- Camp and catering services for project workforces
- When demand peaks
- Project phases set the demand rather than plant shutdowns; mobilisation runs in waves as each package moves from civil to mechanical to commissioning.
- Accommodation and transport
- Workforces live in project camps at the field; AKFAL mobilises crews from Jubail with transport and accommodation arranged under the contract.
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.
Where would I live in Jafurah?
Workforces live in project camps at the field; AKFAL mobilises crews from Jubail with transport and accommodation arranged under the contract.
How is salary decided?
Set from certificates and experience and fixed in the written offer. Not published.
