Why This QHSE Manager Role at AlphaMind Stands Out
Iconic Hospitality Brands: Lead QHSE across a portfolio of award-winning restaurant, lounge, beach club, and nightlife brands — a rare chance to shape food safety and safety culture across some of Dubai’s most visible and high-profile hospitality venues
True Multi-Site Leadership: This is a group-level QHSE role with genuine strategic influence — you will design standardized policies, drive consistent implementation across all outlets, and report directly to senior management on performance and improvement priorities
Luxury Hospitality Environment: AlphaMind operates at the premium end of the UAE hospitality market — where guest expectations are exceptionally high and the reputational stakes of any food safety or safety failure are significant, making a strong QHSE function a true business-critical capability
Career Growth: QHSE Managers in leading hospitality groups advance toward Group QHSE Director, Head of Compliance & Risk, and Operations Director roles — well-compensated, strategically important positions in Dubai’s rapidly expanding hospitality and lifestyle sector
Position Overview
The QHSE Manager at AlphaMind is accountable for the Quality, Health, Safety, and Environmental performance of the group’s multi-outlet restaurant operations across the UAE. You will develop and implement standardized QHSE policies, procedures, and systems; ensure compliance with UAE food safety regulations and the Dubai Municipality Food Code; oversee HACCP, allergen management, hygiene, and contamination prevention; conduct regular internal audits and outlet inspections; lead risk assessments, incident investigations, and root-cause analysis; manage CAPA to timely closure; establish workplace safety, fire safety, and emergency preparedness procedures; deliver food safety and HSE training to managers, chefs, PICs, and food handlers; coordinate with authorities during regulatory inspections; and monitor QHSE KPIs, presenting findings and improvement plans to senior management — while working closely with Operations, Culinary, and HR to embed a strong culture of food safety and accountability.
Why This Role Matters: In Dubai’s luxury hospitality sector, a single food safety incident, allergen error, or workplace accident can damage a brand’s reputation overnight and put guests and team members at real risk. As QHSE Manager for AlphaMind, you are the professional who prevents that — by turning regulatory requirements and international standards into practical, consistent routines that chefs, managers, and service teams can follow every single shift. Your leadership protects guests, supports the people who serve them, and safeguards the brands that AlphaMind has worked hard to build.
