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 Ras Al Khair
Ras Al Khair, 80 km north of Jubail, is Ma'aden's industrial city: phosphate and ammonia plants, the aluminium smelter and rolling mill, the desalination and power complex and the shipyard. It is heavy industry with long maintenance campaigns and a steady need for mechanical, electrical and rigging trades. AKFAL crews commute from the Jubail camp.

Typical work
- Planned maintenance on kilns, mills and conveyors
- Electrical and instrumentation maintenance in the smelter
- Structural and piping repairs; heavy rigging
- Crane and telehandler hire for maintenance campaigns
- When demand peaks
- Ma'aden's maintenance campaigns run through the year with larger turnarounds in the cooler months; demand is steadier than in Jubail's shutdown peaks.
- Accommodation and transport
- Crews are housed in the AKFAL camp near Jubail and travel by company bus, about an hour each way; site camps are used on longer campaigns.
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 Ras Al Khair?
Crews are housed in the AKFAL camp near Jubail and travel by company bus, about an hour each way; site camps are used on longer campaigns.
How is salary decided?
Set from certificates and experience and fixed in the written offer. Not published.
