Safety Officer & Work Permit Receiver
Saudi Arabia’s oil refining and petrochemical sector continues to generate consistent demand for certified safety and permit control professionals to support shutdowns, maintenance, and ongoing operational projects. An urgent recruitment drive has been announced for Work Permit Receivers (WPR) and Safety Officers for deployment in Yanbu at the Yasref facility. These roles are essential for ensuring strict safety compliance, controlling hazardous work activities, and maintaining operational discipline in a high-risk industrial environment.
Role Overview and Industrial Importance
The Work Permit Receiver and Safety Officer positions play a critical role in maintaining safety standards and operational authorization within refinery environments. WPR professionals are responsible for managing work permits and ensuring that all tasks are properly approved before execution. Safety Officers monitor workplace conditions, enforce safety regulations, and ensure compliance with refinery safety procedures. In facilities like Yasref, these roles are vital for preventing incidents, maintaining regulatory compliance, and ensuring uninterrupted production operations in the oil refining sector.
Key Responsibilities and Job Functions
Work Permit Receivers will handle the issuance, verification, and control of work permits for maintenance and operational activities.

Safety Officers will conduct site inspections, identify hazards, enforce safety protocols, and ensure that workers comply with refinery safety standards. They will also be responsible for reporting unsafe conditions, conducting toolbox talks, and supporting emergency response procedures when required. Both roles require close coordination with operational teams to ensure safe and efficient project execution.
