Hygiene Supervisor Position Overview
The Hygiene Supervisor role at The Ritz-Carlton, Doha sits at the center of food safety for a luxury resort with a demanding and varied food program. Guests expect beautiful food served in spotless surroundings, and the hygiene team makes sure that expectation is met every day. You’ll supervise and coordinate operations so that they comply with hygiene and food safety standards, and you’ll be the person colleagues turn to for advice on proper food handling. Prevention is a big part of the work. You’ll identify the areas of greatest risk across food operations and take action before problems reach a guest, from storage and preparation to service and clean-down. Training is central to the role. You’ll deliver food hygiene training to every new hire and trainee, helping the team build sound habits from their first day. Technical guidance on product labeling is also part of the job, so that items meet government requirements and are presented accurately. Good supervision means people as much as procedures. You’ll support management with hiring, training, scheduling, evaluating, counseling, and coaching staff, and you’ll help motivate the team to uphold the Gold Standards. Safety and security procedures apply throughout: you’ll report maintenance needs, accidents, and unsafe conditions, and you’ll make sure uniforms, presentation, and confidentiality are kept to the hotel’s high expectations. The job is active, with extended periods on your feet, and it asks for the stamina to move, lift, and reach comfortably as the shift demands.
As Hygiene Supervisor, you’ll build deeper expertise in food safety systems, risk identification, and hygiene training, while developing the leadership and communication skills that define a respected supervisor in a five-star environment. The ideal candidate holds a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university in environmental health or culinary arts, and brings two to four years of related work experience, including at least one year of supervisory experience. A clear, professional manner, the ability to build positive working relationships, and a genuine commitment to service and quality will serve you well. Comfort working within Marriott International’s brand standards and a willingness to complete safety training and certifications are also important. For hygiene and food safety professionals in Doha who want to uphold excellence in one of the region’s most recognized luxury hotels, this role offers meaningful responsibility and a supportive environment to grow.
Why This Role Matters: As Hygiene Supervisor at The Ritz-Carlton, Doha, you protect the health and comfort of every guest, train the next generation of food handlers, catch risks early in busy food operations, uphold the Gold Standards that define the brand, lead and coach a supervisory team, and advance a career in luxury hospitality food safety.
