Introduction
Not every great job is on the restaurant floor. Behind every smooth meal service or facility operation is someone who keeps the stock organised, and that person is the Store Keeper. Sodexo is now hiring a Store Keeper for its Kelvin site, and it could suit you well if you like order, accuracy and responsibility.
About Sodexo
Sodexo is a global company that provides food services and facilities management to workplaces, schools, hospitals and other sites. In the UAE it supports clients with catering and site operations, which means stores must run properly every single day.
Working with a large international employer can give you structure, clear procedures and good training. That is a real advantage if you want a stable career in supply and logistics.
What a Store Keeper does
- Receiving deliveries and checking items against purchase orders and delivery notes.
- Inspecting goods for quality, quantity, damage and expiry dates.
- Storing items correctly, following FIFO (first in, first out) and temperature requirements.
- Issuing stock to kitchens and departments and recording every movement.
- Carrying out regular stock counts and reporting differences or wastage.
- Keeping the store clean, organised, labelled and pest-free.
- Maintaining accurate records and inventory reports.
- Following food safety, hygiene and health and safety standards.
- Reporting low stock early so ordering can be planned properly.
Skills and requirements
Check the official posting for final details, but a Store Keeper at a site like this usually needs:
- Previous experience as a store keeper, storeman or inventory assistant, ideally in food, hospitality or catering.
- Good knowledge of stock control, FIFO and receiving procedures.
- Basic computer skills, including Excel or inventory software.
- Understanding of food safety and hygiene rules. A food hygiene certificate is a plus.
- Honesty, strong attention to detail and good organisation.
- Ability to lift and move stock and to work on your feet.
- Basic English to read documents and communicate with the team.
- Ability to work with different teams and follow schedules.
Why this role matters
A store that is well managed saves the company money, prevents waste and keeps kitchens running without last-minute panic. A good Store Keeper is the person who notices a missing carton, a short-dated product or an invoice that does not match. That kind of accuracy builds trust fast.
A day in the store
The day usually starts with checking what is due to arrive and what the kitchen or teams will need. When deliveries come in, you count, inspect and record everything before it goes on the shelf, fridge or freezer. Through the day you issue stock, update records and keep walkways clear and safe. Towards the end you tidy up, note low items and make sure paperwork matches what is physically in the store. It is quiet but very important work, and mistakes show up quickly, so careful habits matter.
Career growth
Store Keepers who prove reliable can grow into senior store keeper, stores supervisor, inventory controller or procurement support roles. Skills in inventory, documentation and supplier coordination are useful across the UAE, in hospitality, retail, logistics and facilities management.
