About This Role — Senior Food Safety Leadership in Dubai

Regulatory Scope: Dubai Municipality food safety regulations, UAE Food Code, HACCP standards, and all applicable UAE food safety and hygiene requirements
Inspection Scope: All processing and non-processing areas — raw materials, packaging, receiving, production, and finished goods dispatch
Work Mode: Full-time, in-person, on-site — with flexibility to work across different locations and shifts as operational needs require
Why Dubai UAE — A Premier Career Destination for Food Safety Professionals
Regulatory Importance: Dubai Municipality operates one of the most rigorous and internationally aligned food safety regulatory frameworks in the MENA region — making Dubai the Gulf’s most professionally demanding and career-building food safety environment
Industry Scale: Dubai’s world-class F&B and hospitality sector serves millions of residents and tourists — creating sustained, high-value demand for senior food safety compliance professionals

Position Overview
The Senior Quality & Safety Officer in Dubai is a comprehensive and senior food safety compliance role with full responsibility for ensuring adherence to Dubai Municipality regulations, HACCP standards, and UAE food safety laws across all food preparation, receiving, storage, and dispatch operations. You will conduct regular hygiene inspections and audits, train food handlers on food safety protocols, prepare inspection reports and corrective action plans, investigate food safety complaints and contamination risks, monitor cold chain management and storage temperatures, verify FIFO compliance, and ensure all food safety documentation is accurate and audit-ready at all times.
Why This Senior Quality & Safety Officer Role in Dubai Stands Out: You hold senior accountability for food safety compliance across a Dubai F&B or hospitality operation — directly protecting consumers and the organization’s regulatory standing with Dubai Municipality, your role spans the complete food safety lifecycle — from raw material receiving and cold chain monitoring through to finished goods dispatch, staff training, and corrective action management, expertise in Dubai Municipality regulations and the UAE Food Code is among the most valued and well-compensated food safety specialization in the entire GCC region, the senior training and awareness leadership component of this role builds genuine cross-departmental influence and professional visibility within the organization, and AED 3,000–4,000 per month plus full-time employment in one of the world’s most dynamic food service cities makes this an excellent career step in Dubai’s competitive F&B quality sector.
Key Responsibilities
Food Safety & Regulatory Compliance
- Ensure full compliance with Dubai Municipality food safety regulations, HACCP standards, and the UAE Food Code across all food production, preparation, and service operations

- Train all new employees on food safety policies, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and Dubai Municipality compliance requirements before they engage in any food-related operational activities
- Promote and actively champion a strong, positive food safety culture across all departments — making food safety awareness an embedded part of every team member’s daily operational mindset
- Develop and update food safety training materials to reflect the latest Dubai Municipality guidelines, UAE Food Code updates, and industry best practices
Monitoring, Inspection & Corrective Actions
- Inspect all processing and non-processing areas, and every operational process — from raw material receipt and packaging inspection through to finished goods dispatch and cold chain verification
- Prepare comprehensive inspection reports and detailed corrective action plans for all identified food safety, hygiene, or quality non-conformances across operations
- Investigate food safety and quality complaints, incidents, or contamination risks thoroughly — identifying root causes and ensuring effective corrective actions are implemented and sustained
- Follow up on all corrective actions to verify successful implementation and prevent recurrence — maintaining a complete corrective action tracking record for audit purposes
Supplier Control, Cold Chain & Storage Management
- Ensure all raw material receiving procedures meet established food safety standards — verifying supplier compliance, delivery documentation, temperature records, and product condition on receipt
- Monitor cold chain management and storage temperatures across all refrigerated and frozen storage areas — ensuring continuous compliance with temperature specifications and food safety requirements
- Verify labeling accuracy, shelf life compliance, and FIFO (First In First Out) stock rotation practices across all food storage areas and product categories
- Report and escalate any supplier quality issues, cold chain deviations, or storage non-conformances promptly to management for immediate corrective action

- Strong, current knowledge of the UAE Food Code and Dubai Municipality food safety regulations — this is a non-negotiable requirement for this senior-level compliance role
