Job Description/Specification:
An experienced HSE professional is required for a civil construction opportunity in Qatar. This position is suited to a Health, Safety and Environment specialist with strong hands-on site experience in building construction, infrastructure, earthworks, or similar civil engineering projects.
The role is particularly suitable for candidates with extensive practical experience managing construction-site safety requirements and a current NEBOSH International General Certificate.
HSE Officer Job Overview
The HSE professional will support health, safety, and environmental requirements across civil construction activities. The position requires strong site-based experience and the ability to identify hazards, promote safe working practices, monitor compliance, and support effective HSE implementation throughout project operations.
Candidates should have a minimum of 8 years of continuous HSE experience, with substantial exposure to civil construction environments.
Key Requirements
Applicants should meet the following qualifications and experience requirements:
- Graduation Diploma or Bachelor's Certificate in Safety, Engineering, Science, or a related discipline.
- Minimum 8+ years of continuous experience in Health, Safety and Environment (HSE).
- Extensive hands-on site experience in civil construction projects.
- Experience across building construction, infrastructure, earthworks, or related civil works.
- Active NEBOSH International General Certificate (IGC).
- Strong practical understanding of construction-site safety requirements.
- Ability to work directly within active construction environments.
- Strong awareness of workplace hazards and appropriate control measures.
- Ability to communicate effectively with construction teams and other site personnel.
Civil Construction Experience
Hands-on civil construction experience is a key requirement for this position. Candidates should have worked directly on construction sites rather than relying solely on office-based HSE responsibilities.
Relevant project exposure may include:
- Building construction.
- Infrastructure projects.
- Earthworks and excavation activities.
- Civil engineering works.
- Construction-site operations and contractor activities.
Experience in these environments helps an HSE professional understand the practical safety challenges associated with active construction sites and the importance of maintaining compliance while project activities are underway.
NEBOSH Certification
An active NEBOSH International General Certificate (IGC) is specifically required. Candidates should ensure that their certification status is current and can be supported by appropriate documentation if required during the recruitment process.
NEBOSH IGC is an important qualification for professionals working in occupational health and safety and is commonly relevant to HSE positions within construction and engineering environments.
Qatar Residency Requirement
Candidates with a valid Qatar ID (QID) and transferable visa status are preferred. An NOC is also preferred for candidates seeking immediate local employment in Qatar.
This requirement makes the position particularly relevant to HSE professionals who are already based in Qatar and can meet the local employment and sponsorship requirements.
Skills for the Role
The successful candidate should combine formal HSE qualifications with practical construction-site experience. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are important because HSE professionals regularly interact with workers, supervisors, engineers, contractors, and project management teams.
A proactive approach to workplace safety, attention to detail, hazard awareness, and the ability to work effectively in demanding construction environments are valuable for this position.
Who Should Apply?
This opportunity is aimed at experienced HSE Officers, HSE Engineers, Safety Officers, Construction Safety Professionals, and HSE Supervisors with a strong civil construction background.
Candidates should have at least 8 years of continuous HSE experience, hands-on exposure to civil construction projects, and an active NEBOSH IGC qualification.
Professionals currently based in Qatar with a valid QID and transferable visa/NOC status may be particularly suited to this opportunity, especially if they are available for immediate local joining.
