Openings: 1 Location: Nairobi – Embakasi (Easter bypass slip Rd) Overview: Ever wanted to be the hero who keeps forklifts, pallets, and people all in harmony? Our client is looking for an HSE Officer at their busy logistics hub in Embakasi, someone who can spot a risk before it becomes a “fun” story for the incident report. You’ll run audits, toolbox talks, and near-miss investigations while making sure everyone actually enjoys following the rules. Safety here isn’t just a poster on the wall, it’s a living, breathing rhythm. From PPE checks to drills and inductions, you’ll be the person turning compliance into something practical, visible, and yes, even a little satisfying. If you can explain “why we do this” without putting people to sleep, you’ll fit right in. You’ll also get to flex your data muscles, tracking TRIR, leading indicators, and audit closures. In short, you’ll be the guardian of both people and processes, making sure the hub runs smoothly, safely, and incident-free. Key Responsibilities: - Maintain HSE policy, risk register, and legal compliance calendar. - Lead inductions, toolbox talks, drills, and incident investigations. - Close audit findings; track CAPA to completion. - Ensure PPE, signage, and equipment checks are in place. - Report TRIR and leading indicators weekly. Education & Experience: - Diploma/Degree in OSH/Environment/Business; NEBOSH/IOSH a plus. - 2–4 years HSE in warehouse/logistics/manufacturing. Skills & Tools: - Risk assessment, incident analysis, training, and documentation. KPIs: - TRIR, near-miss reporting rate, audit closure %, training completion. Compensation (Kenya): KES 90,000–160,000 + safety bonus. Figures are client estimates and may vary depending on experience. Benefits: - Medical, PPE, and transport stipend for late shifts. Growth Path: - Senior HSE → HSE Manager → Compliance/Facilities Lead. Ideal hierarchy and expected promotion cycle.
