Your daily work will cover food safety standards enforcement, QHSE procedure compliance, internal and external audit support, regulatory reporting, hygiene monitoring, and incident investigation. You will need to be equally comfortable on the factory floor identifying safety risks as you are in the office preparing compliance documentation or analysing data in MS Excel. This is a senior individual contributor role that requires both technical expertise and strong communication skills to influence teams at all levels of the organisation.
Key Responsibilities

- Conduct regular food safety inspections and hygiene audits of the production floor, cold storage, raw material handling areas, and finished goods warehouses to identify risks and drive corrective actions.
- Maintain and update food safety documentation including HACCP plans, CCPs, monitoring records, and corrective action reports to ensure audit-readiness at all times.
QHSE Procedure Implementation & Monitoring
- Develop, implement, and monitor QHSE procedures across all departments — ensuring that standard operating procedures are clearly documented, communicated to all staff, and consistently followed on the ground.
- Perform routine QHSE inspections and risk assessments across all operational areas — identifying hazards, assessing risk levels, and ensuring appropriate controls are implemented promptly and effectively.
- Manage incident reporting, investigation, and root cause analysis for all safety incidents, near-misses, and quality non-conformances — documenting findings and implementing preventive measures to avoid recurrence.
Regulatory Compliance & Audit Support
- Ensure the company’s operations are fully compliant with Oman’s occupational health, food safety, and environmental regulations — including requirements from the Ministry of Commerce, PACDA, and other relevant regulatory bodies.
- Support and coordinate internal and external QHSE audits — preparing documentation, conducting pre-audit gap analyses, accompanying auditors during inspections, and managing audit finding close-out plans.
- Monitor regulatory changes and new compliance requirements in Oman’s food safety and HSE landscape, proactively updating company procedures and communicating changes to relevant teams.
Team Engagement & Training
- Conduct QHSE awareness sessions and toolbox talks for production staff, supervisors, and management — building a strong safety and quality culture throughout the organisation.
- Prepare and maintain QHSE performance reports, KPI dashboards, and regulatory submissions using MS Excel and other reporting tools, ensuring data accuracy and timely delivery to management.
