HSE Officer

A major player in the UAE’s roads and infrastructure sector, China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), is expanding its Dubai safety team and wants to hear from experienced HSE professionals who thrive on live construction sites. This is a hands-on role for someone who has already cut their teeth on large-scale civil works and is comfortable taking ownership of safety outcomes across busy road, bridge, and infrastructure projects.

You’ll be the person site teams turn to when it comes to keeping people safe and projects compliant. That means walking the site daily, running toolbox talks, spotting hazards before they become incidents, and making sure every permit, inspection report, and safety record is exactly where it should be. Given the nature of CCECC’s project portfolio, candidates who have previously worked on RTA-regulated projects will have a distinct edge, since familiarity with RTA protocols is central to this role.

What you’ll be doing:

• Rolling out and monitoring HSE policies and safe systems of work across the site
• Leading daily inspections, toolbox talks, and safety briefings for crews
• Carrying out hazard identification and risk assessments, then following through on control measures
• Keeping the project aligned with UAE HSE law, RTA standards, and internal company policy
• Overseeing safety on active road, bridge, and infrastructure works
• Investigating incidents and near misses and turning findings into corrective action
• Maintaining HSE documentation, permits, and inspection records
• Liaising with contractors, consultants, and regulators on safety matters

What you’ll bring:

• A diploma or degree in HSE, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline
• 3–6 years’ experience as an HSE Officer on road, bridge, or infrastructure projects
• Prior RTA project exposure — strongly preferred, often essential
• Solid grasp of UAE HSE law and RTA safety requirements
• NEBOSH IGC, IOSH, or OSHA certification is a plus
• Practical experience with inspections, risk assessments, toolbox talks, and permit systems
• Strong reporting, coordination, and documentation skills, plus solid MS Office ability
