Shipyard and industrial projects require highly trained safety professionals who can identify workplace hazards, control operational risks, and maintain compliance during demanding activities. An urgent recruitment opportunity is currently available for Aramco Approved Safety Officers for a shipyard company in Saudi Arabia. The employer is seeking locally available candidates through Iqama transfer, with five vacancies for professionals who have relevant shipyard or industrial safety experience. Candidates with strong HSE qualifications and practical field knowledge are encouraged to review the requirements before applying.

Safety Officer Role in Shipyard Operations

A Safety Officer in a shipyard environment plays an important role in protecting workers during activities involving heavy equipment, welding, lifting, confined spaces, scaffolding, and other high-risk operations. The selected professionals will be expected to maintain a strong safety presence in the field, identify hazards, verify risk controls, and support supervisors and workers in maintaining safe working conditions.

Key Responsibilities and Work Activities

The Safety Officer may monitor daily site activities and verify compliance with approved safety procedures. Responsibilities can include checking permit-to-work requirements, monitoring hot work and confined-space activities, supporting LOTO and energy-isolation procedures, and observing lifting, rigging, and work-at-height operations. The role also involves identifying unsafe conditions, recommending corrective measures, supporting toolbox meetings, and coaching workers on safe practices.

Selected candidates may assist with incident reporting and investigation activities while ensuring accurate documentation. They should be confident enough to challenge unsafe acts professionally and communicate effectively with workers, supervisors, and management. Knowledge of shipyard and industrial safety practices is particularly important for this position.

Qualifications, Certifications and Experience

The employer prefers candidates with professional HSE certifications including NEBOSH IGC, NEBOSH Process Safety Management, OSHA 30 Hours, IOSH, and First Aid/CPR. Knowledge or certification related to working at height, scaffolding inspection, and basic lifting equipment inspection is also beneficial.

Applicants should have 3–6 years of experience in industrial or construction safety, with strong knowledge of PTW, LOTO, confined space, hot work, lifting, rigging, and work-at-height procedures. Familiarity with KSA legal requirements, HSE management systems, ISO 45001 principles, and relevant shipyard safety practices is preferred. Strong communication, coaching, conflict management, hazard identification, and risk-control verification skills are essential.
