About the location:

A resort-like sanctuary in Kuwait’s heart. Discover a modern urban sanctuary in the heart of Kuwait City: a contemporary curation of Middle Eastern architecture, dazzling art and resort-like spaciousness, where striking sculptures seamlessly merge with traditional design. In this enclave of wonder – the first and only hotel in Kuwait to receive the prestigious Forbes Five-Star rating – you’ll find soaring rooftop restaurants, leisure facilities and the city’s largest guest rooms. Catch up with friends in the chic surrounds of Al Soor (known as La Chocolaterie of Kuwait), relax in air-conditioned cabanas by the infinity pool, ascend to a buzzing rooftop and wander the lush adjacent parkland. And with the city’s malls and souks within a few minutes’ drive, you can experience all the spoils of the city without spoiling your precious relaxation time.

• Take an active role in culinary training and skill development within the kitchen.
• Ensure consistent food quality by monitoring taste, presentation, temperature, portioning, and adherence to standard recipes.
• Maintain strict compliance with HACCP standards and all food safety and sanitation requirements.
• Monitor food quality upon receiving and assist in maintaining proper inventory controls.
• Collaborate with the Executive Sous Chef on menu development, seasonal offerings, and restaurant promotions

What You Bring

• Minimum 3 years of experience in a similar role within an all-day dining, multi-cuisine restaurant, preferably in a luxury hotel environment.

• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment and remain composed under pressure.
• Demonstrated leadership skills with the ability to motivate, train, and develop a diverse culinary team.
• Strong understanding of food safety, HACCP, hygiene, and sanitation standards.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to maintaining the highest quality standards.
• Excellent verbal communication skills in English.
• Flexible to work shifts, weekends, public holidays, and extended hours when business demands require.

What we offer
