About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Baking & Pastry Chef de Partie to lead daily bakery and pastry production across our catering, meal plan and restaurant operations.

You must have strong baking and pastry expertise, practical experience in other kitchen sections, and the management skills to organise production, lead a team and maintain consistent standards.

This role requires ownership, initiative and a willingness to learn and use systems that improve kitchen performance. You will take responsibility for your section’s quality, output, cleanliness, stock and team development.

Key Responsibilities

Lead daily bakery and pastry production: Plan and deliver high-volume orders accurately, consistently and within production and dispatch deadlines.

Prepare and produce quality food: Execute approved recipes for baked goods, pastries and other menu items, maintaining consistent taste, texture, presentation and portion sizes.

Work across kitchen sections: Prepare and cook dishes beyond bakery and pastry as operational requirements demand.

Manage production planning: Translate daily orders into preparation schedules, ingredient requirements and clear team assignments. Coordinate with other sections to keep production on schedule.

Develop recipes and menu items: Create and test new recipes for management approval. Record ingredients, methods, yields and portion sizes accurately in the kitchen system.

Control quality: Conduct tastings and production checks, identify deviations and implement corrections before food is packed or dispatched.

Manage ingredients and stock: Calculate requirements, place orders within approved procedures, coordinate with suppliers, check deliveries and maintain accurate inventory records. Apply FIFO and expiry controls consistently.

Control costs and waste: Monitor ingredient usage, production yields, portion accuracy and wastage. Implement practical improvements without compromising food quality.

Lead and train the team: Allocate tasks, set clear standards, monitor performance and train new and existing team members. Maintain training plans and verify that trained practices are followed.

Own food safety and hygiene within your section: Enforce Dubai Municipality, HACCP and company procedures covering food handling, temperature control, allergen management, storage, labelling and traceability.

Maintain a clean, organised kitchen: Complete and verify cleaning schedules, maintain equipment and utensils, and report maintenance needs promptly.

Learn and use kitchen systems: Maintain accurate recipe, production, inventory and food-safety records. Adopt new tools and workflows that improve accuracy, efficiency and accountability.

Resolve operational issues: Identify shortages, delays and quality concerns early, take corrective action within your authority, and escalate issues with clear information and proposed solutions.

Strong practical bakery and pastry experience is essential.

At least 5 years of relevant commercial kitchen experience, including a minimum of 3 years in catering operations producing meals in bulk daily.

Demonstrated cooking experience in kitchen sections beyond bakery and pastry.

Proven ability to manage production schedules, supervise staff, control stock and maintain food quality.
