Riyadh Air (RX), headquartered in the Saudi Capital, is the new national airline that’s shaping the future of flying. It seeks to lead the aviation industry by transforming Saudi Arabia into a global aviation and trade hub – a digitally native airline that will connect the kingdom to more than 100 destinations.
Are you a safety professional driven by a passion for operations, and protecting the integrity of flight? Join Riyadh Air and play a pivotal role in building the safety foundations of a new national airline, one that's redefining aviation for Saudi Arabia and the world.
In this role, you will support the implementation, maintenance, and continuous improvement of our Safety Management System, ensuring that operational risks are identified, assessed, mitigated, and monitored across everything we do.
Working closely with the Safety Lead, you will conduct hazard identification, risk assessments, and safety investigations, and participate in audits, inspections, and emergency response planning. You'll maintain safety records and databases, prepare performance reports for senior leadership, and champion the safety awareness campaigns and training sessions that keep our people protected and informed.
Collaboration sits at the heart of this role. You'll work across operational departments to ensure corrective and preventive actions are implemented effectively, and liaise directly with teams across the business to verify compliance and embed a genuine safety culture at every level.
You must hold a Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Aviation Science, Safety Management, or a related field, with a minimum of 7 years of experience in aviation safety, quality, or engineering, preferably within an airline, MRO, or ground handling environment.
Strong expertise in safety investigations and root cause analysis is essential, along with solid familiarity with ICAO SARPs and EASA/FAA regulations. Proficiency in safety reporting systems such as IQSMS or ASMS is highly valued, and certifications such as IOSA Auditor or Safety Investigator will set you apart.
We're looking for someone with sharp analytical instincts, meticulous attention to detail, and the personal integrity to be a trusted voice for safety across a fast-growing airline. If you communicate with clarity, thrive in a dynamic environment, and take real ownership of the work you do, we want to hear from you.
