Miral Experiences, the entity behind Yas Island’s world-class theme parks and entertainment destinations, is hiring a Commis Chef to join its culinary team. Miral operates some of the region’s most visited attractions, including Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, and SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, all of which rely on large, fast-moving culinary operations to serve millions of guests every year.

This is a strong entry-to-mid-level opportunity for culinary professionals who want to build a career within one of the UAE’s largest entertainment and hospitality groups.

About the Role

As a Commis Chef, you will support senior chefs in daily food preparation, cooking, and kitchen organisation across one or more of Miral’s culinary outlets. You will follow standardised recipes and presentation guidelines, assist with mise en place, and help maintain the pace required to serve high guest volumes during peak park hours.

• Assist senior chefs with stock rotation, ingredient checks, and inventory management
• Support high-volume service during peak park attendance and special events
• Learn and apply new techniques, recipes, and menu items as introduced by the culinary team
• Collaborate with kitchen colleagues to ensure timely, consistent food output
• Adhere to Miral’s health, safety, and operational guidelines across all kitchen areas

Requirements

• Diploma or certification in culinary arts, or equivalent hands-on kitchen experience
• Prior experience as a Commis Chef or kitchen assistant in a high-volume F&B environment
• Understanding of basic cooking techniques, food safety, and kitchen hygiene standards
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, including weekends, holidays, and shift rotations
• Good physical stamina to manage long hours of standing and high-volume kitchen work
• Team-oriented mindset with a willingness to learn from senior culinary staff
• Basic English communication skills; additional languages are an advantage

Why Join Miral Experiences

Miral is one of Abu Dhabi’s largest entertainment and destination management companies, operating attractions that draw millions of visitors annually to Yas Island.

Miral is known for investing in staff development, offering training programs, and providing a stable, well-organised working environment compared to standalone restaurant operations.

This role is well suited to culinary professionals early in their career who want structured growth, exposure to large-scale operations, and the opportunity to work within some of the most visited entertainment destinations in the UAE.
