HSE / Safety Officer CV Example (Arabic + English) with ATS Tips 2026 | MyCV

This is an HSE / Safety Officer CV example written for the Saudi job market, where CVs are filtered first on certification: NEBOSH, IOSH, and OSHA. The certificate alone is not enough, though, because what the employer wants is evidence the site got safer with you on it. This example shows how to state incident rates before and after, permit volumes, and corrective-action closure. Adjust the numbers to your own record, and name the site type precisely, since industrial safety is not the same job as construction safety.

What recruiters look for

  • The required certificates stated plainly with their numbers and expiry dates, since this is the first filter and nothing below it gets read if they are missing.
  • Incident rates before and after, plus safe man-hours, because that is the only way to evidence your actual effect.
  • Permit-to-work experience across permit types, which is the real daily skill on industrial and major projects.
  • Site size and the headcount under your responsibility, since a 40-worker site and a 600-worker site are different jobs.
  • Written English, because incident reports and method statements are usually submitted to the client and consultant in English.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Naming certificates without their numbers and expiry dates, which forces the recruiter either to ask or to move on.
  • Repeating 'monitored safety requirements' under every job, a line that describes the post rather than the person who held it.
  • Giving no figure at all for incidents or safe man-hours, in a field where those numbers are more readily available than in almost any other.
  • Mentioning site attendance without naming the project type and size, so the level of risk you have managed cannot be judged.
  • Sending a scanned or image-based CV, from which an ATS reads nothing at all.

How to write your summary

Write your summary in three or four lines in this order: title, years of experience, site type, your key certificates, then the strongest number proving your effect. Example: 'HSE Officer with 7 years on industrial projects, NEBOSH IGC and OSHA 30 certified, reduced TRIR from 1.8 to 0.7 on a 640-worker site.' Put the certificate name in the first line because the ATS matches 'NEBOSH' literally, and put the number right after it for the human reader.
