The Environment, Health & Safety Officer is expected to support Shangri-La’s UAE property in maintaining high standards of workplace safety, environmental compliance, emergency preparedness and risk management. Requirements typically include a relevant diploma or degree, recognised health and safety certification such as NEBOSH or IOSH, hospitality or facilities experience, and good knowledge of UAE regulations. The candidate should be confident conducting inspections, investigating incidents, preparing reports, delivering staff training and coordinating emergency drills. Strong communication, attention to detail, practical problem-solving skills and the ability to work across departments are essential. Experience in a luxury hotel, knowledge of HACCP and fire-safety systems, and proficiency in English would be advantageous.
Shangri-La Group is a leading luxury hospitality company founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa and North America. Its properties are known for personalised service, refined accommodation, restaurants, wellness facilities and strong attention to guest comfort. Shangri-La places considerable emphasis on safety, service quality, colleague development and responsible business practices. In the United Arab Emirates, the group operates luxury hotels serving international travellers, business guests and local residents. Employees commonly work in multicultural teams and are expected to demonstrate professionalism, discretion, cultural awareness and a genuine commitment to hospitality. Depending on the property and position, benefits may include accommodation or a housing allowance, meals, transportation, medical insurance, annual leave and a return ticket, although the exact package should be confirmed directly with the employer.
The United Arab Emirates is not an island but a federation of seven emirates, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with extensive coastal areas and a highly international lifestyle. Hospitality, tourism, aviation, retail, events, construction and healthcare provide many employment opportunities. The culture combines Islamic traditions with a diverse expatriate community; modest dress and respect for local customs are important, particularly during Ramadan. Life is modern and convenient, with excellent roads, shopping, beaches, restaurants and international schools, although summer temperatures are extremely high and living costs can be significant. Most overseas employees require employer-sponsored residence and work visas; the company normally arranges the work permit, medical checks and Emirates ID process. Candidates should verify the employment contract, accommodation, transport, insurance and end-of-service benefits before relocating. Dubai and Abu Dhabi offer broad amenities, while other emirates may provide a quieter and more affordable lifestyle.
