Position Overview
The Quality and Compliance Manager (QHSE) at this Dubai-based international organization is a senior leadership role with genuine global scope. You will serve as the central authority for all ISO-related documentation, audits, non-conformity closures, and certification renewals — spanning quality assurance, environmental compliance, occupational health and safety, and information security management.
