Safety Officer & WPR (Shutdown Project)
RAE has announced an urgent recruitment requirement for experienced Safety Officers and Work Permit Receivers (WPR) for a Maaden-related shutdown project in Turaif. The vacancy notice is dated 09 August 2026, with the candidate test scheduled for the morning of 11 August 2026. Both positions require Maaden approval and Ajeer, making this opportunity particularly suitable for professionals who already hold the necessary project credentials. The advertised rates are SAR 22 per hour for Safety Officers and SAR 25 per hour for WPRs. Candidates should be prepared to attend the scheduled test and bring their original passport as specifically requested in the recruitment notice.
Safety & Permit Duties at the Project
A Safety Officer is responsible for supporting safe working practices throughout the project by monitoring site activities, identifying hazards, checking compliance with safety procedures, and ensuring workers follow required protective measures. On a shutdown project, safety personnel may be required to monitor multiple activities taking place simultaneously and coordinate with supervisors and work crews. A Work Permit Receiver (WPR), on the other hand, focuses on the permit-to-work system and ensures that work is performed according to the conditions and precautions specified in approved permits. The WPR must understand permit requirements, communicate with responsible personnel, and help ensure that work does not begin or continue when required safety controls are not in place.
Required Qualifications & Project Credentials
Applicants should have relevant experience in industrial, construction, maintenance, or shutdown environments and must meet the certification requirements stated in the vacancy announcement. Maaden approval is mandatory for both Safety Officer and WPR applicants, while Ajeer is also required. WPR candidates should be familiar with permit systems, isolation requirements, workplace hazards, and safe work procedures. Safety Officer applicants should have a solid understanding of occupational safety practices, risk identification, PPE requirements, toolbox meetings, and site inspections. Since the recruitment process includes a test, candidates should revise their professional knowledge and bring their supporting credentials for verification.

Important Applicant Guidance
Applicants should carefully verify their Maaden approval, Ajeer status, professional documents, and passport before attending the test. Because the recruitment notice specifically states that an original passport is required, candidates should bring it for verification while keeping appropriate copies of their personal documents. Applicants should also confirm the final project conditions, duty hours, overtime arrangements, accommodation or transportation provisions, payment schedule, and mobilization date directly with the recruiter. Never pay an unofficial person for selection or employment. Candidates should follow the official recruitment procedure, verify all terms before joining, and keep records of the documents submitted during the hiring process.
