Plan, implement, and monitor the site Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) system so all construction activities are executed incident-free, compliant, and on programme—tailored to Category-3 G+3 works and Sharjah’s climate and logistics.
Develop the Project HSE Plan, Emergency Response Plan, and task-specific Risk Assessments (HIRA/JSA).
Establish and manage the Permit-to-Work system: hot work, working at height, lifting, confined space, electrical LOTO, excavation/road-cut.
Ensure compliance with UAE Labour Law/MOHRE requirements, Sharjah Municipality, SCD, and client specifications.
Conduct daily HSE walks and weekly formal audits (scaffolds/MEWPs, edge protection, housekeeping, access/egress, temporary electrics, lifting gear).
Verify scaffold tagging/inspections, lifting plans & operator certifications, and equipment pre-use checks.
Issue observations/NCRs, track close-out, and verify effectiveness of controls.
Deliver HSE inductions, daily/weekly Toolbox Talks, and task briefings.
Appoint & coach Fire Wardens, First Aiders, and Banksmen; run emergency drills (evacuation, fire, medical, entrapment).
Promote near-miss reporting and positive safety culture.
Lead incident/near-miss investigations, root-cause analysis, and corrective/preventive actions; maintain statutory & client reporting.
Maintain up-to-date logs of man-hours, incidents, and leading indicators (inspections, observations, trainings).
Pre-qualify subcontractors’ HSE; review JSA/Method Statements and permits; verify competency cards/licenses.
Coordinate interfaces (formwork, rebar, concrete, masonry, MEP, façade, fit-out) to minimize simultaneous-operations risk.
Ensure muster points, signage, and emergency lighting are maintained; inspect extinguishers, hose-reels, and access routes.
Liaise with SCD/Consultant for fire safety readiness and cause-and-effect demonstrations.
Enforce sanitary facilities, drinking water/ice, shaded rest areas, and clean canteens.
Implement dust, noise, and waste controls; manage spill kits, chemical MSDS, and segregation of waste/skip handling (Bee’ah interfaces if applicable).
Heat & Humidity (critical):
Implement MOHRE summer midday break and Heat-Stress Management (WBGT/heat index monitoring, work-rest cycles, hydration, shaded recovery, acclimatization, electrolyte plans).
High-temperature controls for bitumen works, hot metals, adhesives/paints; schedule heavy lifts/roof works early morning/evening.
Dust/Sand:
Dust suppression (water carts), tool extraction for cutting/grinding, sealed storage for sensitive equipment; eye/respiratory PPE and wind-breaks where feasible.
Occasional Rain/Flash Water & Coastal Effects:
Temporary drainage/sumps, anti-slip measures, electrical protection (RCDs/IP enclosures), re-inspection of scaffolds/edges after rainfall; corrosion-resistant fixings where specified.
Traffic & Logistics:
Enforce Traffic Management Plan: one-way routes, speed limits, banksmen, reversing alarms, pedestrian segregation, spotters at blind spots.
Coordinate SRTA/Police permits for road occupation, pump/crane setups; plan off-peak/night deliveries; keep emergency access and inspection routes clear.
Maintain HSE registers: inductions, permits, inspections, scaffolds, lifting gear certifications, equipment PAT, first-aid/incident logs, PPE issuance, chemical inventory.
Prepare weekly/monthly HSE reports with KPIs, trend charts, and action trackers; support client/authority audits and SCD visits.
Degree/Diploma in Engineering or Occupational HSE; NEBOSH IGC (minimum) or equivalent certification.
5–8+ years HSE experience on building projects (UAE/GCC preferred), including low/mid-rise RC frames and fit-out.
Competent in PTW systems, scaffolding basics, lifting operations, electrical safety/LOTO, confined space, and fire safety.
Strong English communication; Arabic/Urdu/Hindi an advantage. Valid UAE driving licence preferred.
WBGT/heat-stress or heat index monitor, gas detector (confined space), sound level meter, lux meter, vibration tester (as needed), PAT tester, first-aid kits & AED, calibrated RCD tester, harness/lanyards, barricades & signage, fire extinguishers, spill kits, camera/tablet for reports.
