Position Overview
The Food Safety Officer in Saudi Arabia is responsible for the practical implementation, monitoring, and continuous maintenance of HACCP, ISO 22000, and GMP systems across all relevant factory areas. Daily duties include conducting inspections of production and sanitation areas, following up on laboratory results and non-conformities, preparing food safety documentation and reports, training employees on hygiene and food safety procedures, investigating food safety incidents, reviewing corrective and preventive actions, and supporting the overall improvement of the factory’s food safety management framework — making this a high-responsibility, high-impact role for a committed food safety professional.

Your daily inspections catch risks before they become recalls, your training empowers employees to maintain standards without supervision, your documentation creates the evidence trail that protects the factory during audits, and your corrective actions close the gaps that could compromise food quality, safety, and the company’s reputation.
