Position: Chef de Partie (International Cuisine)

Starting Salary: SAR 3,500 with FREE shared room, transportation, and 1 duty meal

Job Role: The Chef de Partie is a section leader responsible for independently running a designated cuisine station with precision, speed, and consistency. Reporting to the Sous Chef, this role demands strong technical culinary skill, the ability to direct junior team members, and a commitment to upholding the brand's quality standards throughout every service.

Key Responsibilities:

• Station Ownership & Service Leadership: Take full ownership of an assigned cuisine station — managing mise en place, production, and live service with precision; ensure every dish leaving the station meets the brand's recipe specifications, portioning standards, and plating presentation before it reaches the pass.
• Junior Team Direction: Direct and support Commis Chefs and kitchen assistants assigned to the station during preparation and service; delegate tasks effectively, monitor output quality, and provide real-time guidance to maintain consistent pace and standards throughout each service period.
• Multi-Cuisine Technical Execution: Demonstrate confident, accurate cooking technique across the designated station's cuisine — whether classical French saucing, Italian pasta and risotto, Arabic mezze and grills, or Indian spice-led preparations — adapting to menu requirements and special guest requests with professionalism.
• Mise en Place Planning & Preparation: Plan, organise, and execute daily mise en place within set timelines; anticipate service demands, coordinate prep schedules with the broader brigade, and ensure the station is fully stocked, clean, and ready ahead of each service.
• Quality Control & Recipe Adherence: Follow and enforce all standardised recipes, cooking temperatures, and allergen protocols with zero compromise; identify inconsistencies in product quality during prep and service and act immediately to rectify them before they impact the guest experience.
• Stock Management & Waste Reduction: Monitor station-level ingredient usage, flag shortages in advance, and practise disciplined stock rotation and waste reduction in line with the kitchen's food cost targets and sustainability practices.
• Health, Safety & Halal Compliance: Maintain impeccable personal hygiene and station cleanliness in full compliance with GCC municipal food-safety regulations, HACCP standards, and halal certification requirements; ensure all team members on the station follow the same protocols at all times.

Qualifications & Requirements:

• Culinary Credentials: A diploma or certificate in Culinary Arts from a recognised institution is preferred; demonstrable formal training or equivalent professional experience in at least one of the four featured cuisines — French, Italian, Arabic, or Indian — is required, along with a valid food-safety or HACCP certification.
• Professional Experience: A minimum of 3–5 years of progressive kitchen experience, including at least 1–2 years operating as a Chef de Partie or senior line cook in an upscale restaurant, hotel, or multi-cuisine fine-dining environment; hands-on station experience in a GCC or Middle Eastern hospitality setting is a significant advantage.
• Technical Skill & Team Leadership: Strong, well-rounded culinary technique with the ability to work independently at speed under pressure; demonstrated capacity to direct junior staff on the station; a keen eye for detail, a disciplined approach to cleanliness and organisation, and a professional attitude toward continuous skill development within a culturally diverse kitchen environment.
