The Environment, Health & Safety Officer supports Shangri-La’s hotel operations by maintaining workplace safety, environmental compliance, emergency preparedness and risk-control procedures. Candidates typically need a relevant diploma or degree, recognised health and safety training such as NEBOSH or IOSH, and experience in hospitality, facilities or a similar regulated environment. The role requires knowledge of UAE safety requirements, incident reporting, fire prevention, risk assessments and safety inspections. Shangri-La would expect a practical, organised and confident professional who can train colleagues, investigate incidents, work with contractors and communicate effectively across departments. Attention to detail, strong documentation skills and the ability to respond calmly during emergencies are important.
Shangri-La is a global luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other international destinations. The company is known for personalised Asian-inspired hospitality, high service standards and a strong focus on guest comfort. Its properties commonly include luxury accommodation, restaurants, wellness facilities, event venues and extensive operational teams. In the United Arab Emirates, Shangri-La operates prominent hotels serving business travellers, leisure guests, families and large events. Employees generally work in a multicultural environment where professionalism, presentation, teamwork and guest satisfaction are highly valued. The group also places importance on responsible operations, colleague development, health and safety, sustainability and consistent brand standards. Exact benefits and working conditions depend on the property, position and employment contract.
Although the UAE is not an island, it offers a coastal lifestyle across cities such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. Hospitality provides many opportunities, particularly in luxury hotels, resorts, restaurants, events and tourism, while aviation, retail, construction, healthcare, finance and technology are also major employers. The culture is multicultural, but Islamic traditions remain important; dress modestly in formal or religious settings and observe local rules during Ramadan. The lifestyle combines beaches, shopping, desert activities and modern entertainment, although summer temperatures are extremely high. For most overseas hires, the employer arranges a work permit and residence visa, followed by medical checks and an Emirates ID application. Candidates should confirm accommodation, transport, insurance, annual leave, gratuity and other benefits before relocating. Dubai and Abu Dhabi can be expensive, so housing and transport allowances are valuable.
