Job Title: HSE Officer

Location: Ikoyi, Lagos
Employment Type: Full-time

Description

• We are looking for a proactive HSE Officer who will own health, safety and environmental compliance across our operations.
• You will conduct audits, manage incidents, ensure regulatory compliance, deliver training and drive continuous safety improvement.
• But most importantly, you will take initiative — identifying risks before they become incidents, suggesting improvements, and driving them forward.
• You won't wait to be told what to do; you'll see what needs doing and do it.

Core Responsibilties
HSE Auditing & Monitoring:

• Conduct scheduled and unannounced HSE audits across all facilities — kitchens, guest areas, staff areas, maintenance areas.
• Inspect fire safety systems, emergency equipment, electrical safety, hazard identification and control measures.
• Monitor food safety and HACCP compliance in kitchen and food preparation areas.
• Check that all safety signage, PPE and emergency equipment are in place, functional and accessible.

Compliance & Regulatory Management:

• Maintain awareness of all applicable HSE regulations — OSHA, fire safety codes, building regulations, NAFDAC, labour standards.
• Ensure all HSE documentation is up to date — permits, certificates, training records, inspection logs.
• Liaise with regulatory bodies during inspections and ensure we remain compliant at all times.
• Report on HSE status to management regularly — identifying compliance gaps and recommending fixes.

Incident Management & Investigation:

• Log all incidents, near-misses and unsafe conditions in the incident tracking system.
• Investigate incidents — determining root cause and recommending corrective actions.
• Ensure incident corrective actions are implemented and tracked to completion.
• Identify patterns and trends — flagging recurring issues that need systemic fixes.

HSE Training & Awareness:

• Deliver HSE induction training to all new staff — covering site-specific hazards, emergency procedures and safe practices.
• Conduct toolbox talks and safety briefings to keep HSE visible and top-of-mind.
• Ensure all staff have current training certifications (First Aid, food safety, etc.) and maintain training records.
• Lead or support fire drills, emergency response tests and evacuation procedures.

Initiative & Continuous Improvement — Key Part of This Role:

• Spot safety gaps and hazards before they cause incidents — don't wait to be told. Raise them, investigate and recommend fixes.
• Suggest process improvements that reduce risk, improve efficiency or enhance safety culture.
• Drive adoption of better safety practices — whether that's improved signage, better hazard controls or smarter procedures.
• Benchmark our HSE performance against best practice and identify where we can do better.
• Build relationships with teams across operations — understanding their challenges and helping them work safely.

What You Bring
Experience:

• 3+ years in HSE or safety compliance roles
• Proven track record conducting audits and managing incidents
• Experience in hospitality, facilities or food service is valued
• Experience with food safety (HACCP) is an advantage
• Understanding of HSE regulations applicable in Nigeria
• Cross-industry experience is welcome — HSE principles are universal.

Skills & Mindset:

• Self-motivated — you identify what needs doing and do it
• Clear communicator — you explain safety concepts so people understand and follow
• Detail-oriented — you catch things others miss
• Initiative-taker — you suggest improvements and drive them forward
• Problem-solver — when you spot an issue, you think about how to fix it
• Proactive — you don't wait for incidents to happen; you prevent them.

Certifications & Training:

• HSE qualification (NEBOSH, IOSH) is valued but not required
• Food Safety or HACCP training is an advantage
• First Aid certification is expected
• Willingness to pursue further qualifications as needed.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Opportunity to grow into more responsibility
• A role where your initiative is valued and visible
• A workplace that takes safety seriously
• Clear expectations and support from management.
