Key Responsibilities
Food Safety Monitoring & HACCP Compliance
- Implement, monitor, and maintain food safety and HACCP systems across all food-handling departments of the hypermarket — including fresh produce, chilled and frozen food sections, bakery, deli, butchery, fish counter, and any food service or prepared food areas — ensuring that HACCP Critical Control Points are monitored correctly, CCP records are current and accurate, and any CCP deviations are addressed with documented corrective actions
- Conduct daily food safety monitoring activities — including temperature checks of chilled and frozen display cabinets and storage areas, date code and shelf life compliance checks, product labelling verification, personal hygiene observation, cross-contamination prevention monitoring, and allergen management compliance verification across all food handling and display areas of the hypermarket
- Verify HACCP compliance through regular structured checks against the approved HACCP plan — ensuring that all food safety monitoring activities are being performed by responsible team members on the required schedule, that monitoring records are correctly completed, and that the HACCP system remains an active, living food safety management tool rather than a documentation exercise
- Monitor food receiving procedures for all inbound food deliveries — verifying delivery temperatures, checking product condition and date coding, confirming supplier hygiene compliance, and rejecting any deliveries that do not meet Mark & Save’s food safety receiving standards or applicable UAE regulatory requirements for food quality and safety
Hygiene Control & Store Inspections
- Conduct regular, structured hygiene inspections across all hypermarket departments — evaluating cleaning and sanitation practices, personal hygiene standards, food handling practices, pest prevention measures, equipment hygiene, waste management, and facility condition against Mark & Save’s hygiene standards and applicable UAE food safety regulatory requirements
- Verify the effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection programmes across food contact surfaces, equipment, storage areas, food preparation zones, and customer-facing display areas — ensuring that cleaning schedules are followed, cleaning chemicals are used correctly and safely, and hygiene verification checks confirm that cleaned surfaces are microbiologically safe before food contact resumes
- Monitor personal hygiene compliance across all food handling staff — verifying that all food handlers wear required protective clothing, follow correct handwashing procedures, comply with illness and wound reporting requirements, and maintain the personal hygiene standards required by UAE food safety regulations and HACCP principles
- Document all hygiene inspection findings accurately — preparing structured inspection reports that clearly identify non-conformances, their severity classification, required corrective actions, and responsible persons, and following up to verify that agreed corrective actions are implemented within required timeframes and that hygiene compliance is maintained consistently across the store
Regulatory Compliance — UAE & Ajman Municipality Standards
- Ensure compliance with all applicable UAE and Ajman Municipality food safety, health, safety, and environmental regulatory requirements across Mark & Save’s hypermarket operations — maintaining current knowledge of applicable legislation and regulatory standards, and proactively updating internal procedures and practices to reflect any regulatory changes
- Prepare for and support regulatory inspections by Ajman Municipality health and food safety inspectors and any other relevant UAE regulatory authority — ensuring that facilities, records, HACCP documentation, and operational practices are at inspection-ready standard at all times, and coordinating Mark & Save’s timely, professional response to any regulatory inspection findings
- Maintain all required regulatory compliance documentation — including food safety licences, pest control records, cleaning chemical safety data sheets, staff food handler certificates, temperature monitoring logs, and any other regulatory documentation required by Ajman Municipality or other applicable UAE regulatory authorities
- Monitor and report on regulatory compliance status across the hypermarket — providing management with regular updates on compliance performance, upcoming regulatory requirements, and any emerging compliance risks that require management attention or corrective investment
Internal Audits, HSE Compliance & Corrective Actions
- Plan and conduct structured internal QHSE audits across hypermarket departments and operational areas — evaluating compliance with food safety, hygiene, occupational health and safety, and environmental standards — and preparing professional audit reports that clearly document findings, non-conformances, and required corrective and preventive actions
- Conduct workplace health and safety inspections — identifying hazardous conditions, unsafe practices, and near-miss situations across the hypermarket, and coordinating with store management to implement corrective actions that eliminate or mitigate identified safety risks
- Manage the corrective action follow-up process — tracking all outstanding QHSE non-conformances, monitoring implementation progress against agreed timelines, escalating overdue actions to management, and verifying through follow-up inspection that implemented corrective actions are effective in resolving the identified QHSE non-conformance
- Investigate customer complaints and incidents related to food safety, product quality, or workplace safety — conducting structured root cause analysis, preparing investigation reports, coordinating corrective actions, and communicating outcomes to management and relevant stakeholders in a timely and professional manner
Staff Training, Reporting & QHSE Culture
- Plan and deliver food safety, hygiene, and health and safety training to hypermarket staff at all levels — providing new joiners with essential QHSE induction training within their first days of employment and delivering regular refresher training to all food-handling and customer-facing staff on food safety, hygiene, allergen management, and workplace safety topics
- Prepare regular QHSE performance reports for store management — covering food safety audit outcomes, hygiene inspection results, regulatory compliance status, corrective action progress, staff training completion, and any QHSE incidents or near-misses — providing management with the timely, accurate QHSE intelligence needed to drive continuous improvement
- Develop and champion a positive QHSE culture across the hypermarket — promoting the principle that quality, safety, and hygiene are shared responsibilities that every team member owns, and building an environment where QHSE concerns are raised promptly, corrective actions are taken seriously, and continuous improvement is genuinely valued by the entire store team
- Utilise the UAE Driving Licence as required for QHSE operational activities — including multi-site visits, supplier liaison, attendance at training courses, regulatory authority meetings, or any other QHSE-related activities that require independent mobility across the Ajman and wider UAE area
Qualifications & Requirements
Education
- Bachelor’s degree or diploma in Food Science, Food Safety, Environmental Health, Occupational Health and Safety, Microbiology, or a closely related field — a relevant qualification in food safety or QHSE strengthens a candidate’s application significantly for this role
- Professional food safety or QHSE certifications — HACCP certification, Food Safety Level 3/4, NEBOSH, or equivalent — are a meaningful advantage that demonstrates formal competence in the food safety and safety management disciplines this role requires
Experience & Skills
- 1–2 years of professional experience in food safety, hygiene control, QHSE compliance, auditing, or a closely related role — retail hypermarket or catering industry experience is specifically preferred and will significantly differentiate candidates who possess it
- Strong practical knowledge of HACCP principles and their application in a food retail or food service environment — candidates who have directly implemented or maintained HACCP systems in a hypermarket, supermarket, or catering operation will be strongly preferred
- Knowledge of UAE and local authority regulatory standards applicable to food retail and workplace safety — familiarity with Ajman Municipality or comparable UAE authority food safety requirements is a valued advantage
- Valid UAE Driving Licence — a mandatory requirement for this role; candidates who do not hold a current, valid UAE driving licence cannot be considered for this QHSE Executive position
