The Hygiene/EHS Coordinator supports Shangri-La’s food hygiene, environmental health and occupational safety standards in the UAE. Typical requirements include a relevant diploma or degree, knowledge of HACCP, food safety and UAE health and safety regulations, good administrative skills, and confidence conducting inspections, audits, training and incident follow-up. Hotel, hospitality or catering experience is advantageous, while certifications such as HACCP, IOSH or NEBOSH may be preferred. The candidate is expected to maintain accurate records, coordinate with kitchen and operational departments, identify risks, promote safe working practices and communicate effectively with colleagues and external authorities. As this role is part of an Emiratisation programme, eligibility may require UAE nationality.
Shangri-La is a luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong and known for its warm Asian-inspired service, high-quality accommodation and destination resorts. The group operates hotels, resorts and related hospitality businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other international markets. Shangri-La properties typically provide rooms and suites, restaurants, leisure facilities, wellness services, meetings and events. In the United Arab Emirates, the company operates luxury hotels serving business and leisure travellers, with a strong focus on guest satisfaction, service standards, staff development and responsible operations. Roles within the group often involve close teamwork across departments and adherence to detailed brand, hygiene, safety and sustainability procedures. Benefits and employment conditions vary by property and position, but hospitality employees may receive accommodation, transportation, meals, medical coverage, annual leave and travel-related benefits where applicable.
The United Arab Emirates is not an island but a federation of seven emirates, offering substantial opportunities in hospitality, tourism, aviation, retail, finance, construction and technology. Dubai and Abu Dhabi have the largest international hotel and business markets, while Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah provide growing resort opportunities. The culture combines Islamic traditions, Emirati heritage and a highly international population; respectful dress and conduct are important, especially during Ramadan. Lifestyle options range from beaches, desert activities and shopping to museums, dining and major sporting events. Summers are extremely hot, so air-conditioned indoor living is common. Most expatriates need employer-sponsored residence and work visas, usually arranged after receiving an offer; medical checks and Emirates ID registration are generally required. UAE nationals applying through Emiratisation programmes may have specific eligibility advantages. Candidates should confirm salary, accommodation, transport, insurance and visa sponsorship before relocating.
