Job description

Reporting to the Executive Chef, this role holds every back of house area at Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates together, from the kitchens and dish pits to storage rooms and stewarding equipment. You keep sanitation and hygiene standards where they need to be, making sure equipment, utensils, crockery and glassware are cleaned, sanitized and stored to HACCP and local health department requirements. Regular inspections of kitchens, walk-ins and waste areas catch problems before they become violations, and pest control programs run in coordination with the relevant vendors. Stewarding staff, including stewards, kitchen porters and dishwashers, get recruited, trained, scheduled and supervised directly by this position. Dishwashing machines, glass washers and other equipment need ongoing maintenance, coordinated with engineering whenever something breaks down or needs servicing. Inventory of chemicals, supplies, crockery and glassware falls under the same remit, with breakage tracked and the stewarding budget monitored closely. Waste segregation, disposal and sustainability initiatives like grease trap management round out the environmental side of the job. Culinary, F&B Service, Banquets and Purchasing teams all coordinate with this role to keep BOH operations running smoothly across the property.
