Halal Assurance Officer

About the role

Don Signature Crab is a busy seafood-focused restaurant group with a central kitchen serving multiple outlets and delivery channels. We maintain halal certification for our operations and are looking for a hands-on Halal Assurance Officer to ensure that our processes, suppliers and kitchen practices meet MUIS requirements and internal standards.

The Halal Assurance Officer will work closely with production, procurement and outlet teams to maintain segregation, traceability and correct labelling, conduct internal audits and prepare for external MUIS inspections. This role is ideal for someone with practical F&B experience who understands kitchen workflows and can translate regulatory requirements into clear, operational procedures.

You will have the opportunity to shape halal SOPs across a growing group, lead training for frontline staff, and be part of continuous improvement projects that touch food safety, supplier management and product development. Strong communication and an organised approach to documentation are essential; occasional weekend or early-morning checks and audit support will be required.
