Effectively communicate to all employees, stakeholders, and contractors, on their individuals’ responsibilities and roles in maintaining the commitments of Zambia Sugar’s SHERQ policy. Facilitate HSE training, toolbox talks, and behavioural based safety awareness sessions to strengthen workforce safety culture. Ensure practicality and alignment of the ABF Integrated Risk Management System (IRMS) through the Group Level Guidelines (GLG) into site Level Procedures to ensure operational effectiveness.

Expert Application Advice

When tailoring your CV for Zambia Sugar PLC, don’t just list duties; frame each role as a solved security problem. If the posting mentions les compétences demandées dans l'annonce, lead with that exact term in your summary—recruiters scan for keywords first. Quantify your impact: "reduced incidents by 15%" speaks louder than "managed security."

Positioning — Your cover letter must answer one question: why YOU for THIS specific role right NOW? Avoid generic templates — one sentence on what you specifically bring beats three generic paragraphs.

Certifications and procedures — List your current certifications (fire safety, first aid, crisis management) with dates. Prepare concrete risk situation examples — the clarity of your response procedures is the real assessment criterion.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
