Hot Section Chef (Seafood)
Al Sayyad Al Bahri Restaurant & Grill — Bain Al Jasrain Branch | UAE
Al Sayyad Al Bahri Restaurant and Grill, a well-known seafood dining destination at the Bain Al Jasrain branch, is looking for an experienced Hot Section Chef to join its kitchen brigade. If you have a strong background in seafood cookery and thrive in a busy, high-volume hot kitchen, this role offers the chance to work with fresh catch, bold Gulf and Arabic seafood flavors, and a loyal customer base.
Role Overview
As Hot Section Chef, you’ll take ownership of the hot line — grilling, frying, and sauté stations focused primarily on seafood, alongside grill meats and Arabic-style sides. You’ll work closely with the Head Chef and Sous Chef to execute the menu consistently, manage mise en place, and keep the section running efficiently even during peak service. This role suits a chef who already understands seafood handling, cooking times, and presentation, and who takes pride in consistency and cleanliness under pressure.
Key Responsibilities
- Run the hot section independently, preparing grilled, fried, and pan-seared seafood dishes to spec
- Handle fresh fish and shellfish correctly — cleaning, portioning, and cooking to the required standard
- Maintain consistent plating, portion control, and presentation across all hot section dishes
- Coordinate timing with other kitchen sections to ensure smooth, synchronized service
- Monitor stock levels for the section and flag shortages to the Sous Chef ahead of service
- Follow HACCP, food safety, and hygiene standards at all times
- Support daily mise en place, prep lists, and closing/cleaning duties
- Train and guide junior kitchen staff or commis chefs assigned to the section
What We’re Looking For
- Minimum 2–3 years’ experience as a Hot Section or Grill Chef, ideally in a seafood-focused restaurant
- Solid knowledge of seafood cookery techniques — grilling, frying, sautéing, and sauce work
- Familiarity with Arabic and Gulf seafood dishes is a strong advantage
- Ability to work fast and stay organized during high-volume dinner service
- Strong understanding of food safety, hygiene, and kitchen cleanliness standards
- Team player attitude with the ability to take direction from senior chefs
- Willingness to work restaurant hours, including evenings, weekends, and public holidays
- Valid UAE work eligibility or transferable visa status
Why Join This Team
Al Sayyad Al Bahri has built a strong reputation for fresh, quality seafood served in a lively, hospitable setting. Joining the Bain Al Jasrain branch means working in an established, busy kitchen with a real seafood-focused menu — a strong addition to any chef’s CV who wants to specialize further in this niche. The restaurant offers accommodation and standard employment benefits as per UAE labor law, along with the opportunity to grow within a well-regarded F&B group.
