Position Overview
The Assistant Hygiene Manager at Renaissance Hotels Dubai supervises and coordinates all hotel operations to ensure continuous compliance with hygiene and food safety standards. You will advise on proper food handling practices, provide food hygiene training for all new hires and trainees, identify key areas of food safety risk across the various food operations of the hotel and take pre-emptive remedial action, and provide technical advice on product labeling issues to meet government requirements. You will also assist the Hygiene Manager and wider management team in hiring, training, scheduling, evaluating, counseling, motivating, and coaching employees — acting as an operational leader who combines food safety expertise with team development skills. In a luxury hotel environment where guest trust depends on invisible standards being consistently met, this role is the guardian of hygiene excellence at Renaissance Hotels Dubai.
Why This Role Matters: In a hotel environment where hundreds of guests dine every day across restaurants, banquets, room service, and bars — hygiene and food safety is not just a compliance requirement. It is the foundation of guest trust. The Assistant Hygiene Manager at Renaissance Hotels Dubai ensures that every food handler is trained, every kitchen is inspected, every risk is identified before it becomes an incident, and every product label meets government requirements. When hygiene standards are consistently high, guests never notice — because nothing goes wrong. That invisible excellence is exactly what this role delivers every single day. For a food safety professional who wants to work at the intersection of luxury hospitality and regulatory rigor in Dubai, this is a role with real purpose and real prestige.

- Ensure uniform and personal appearance are always clean and professional, and maintain confidentiality of all proprietary information
- Protect company assets and ensure adherence to quality expectations and standards across all areas of responsibility
Guest Service & Professional Conduct

- Speak with colleagues and guests using clear, professional language and respond appropriately to the concerns of other employees

- Move, lift, carry, push, pull, and place objects weighing up to 25 pounds without assistance during normal operations
Qualifications & Requirements
Preferred Qualifications

- 2 to 4 years of related work experience in food safety, hygiene management, hotel kitchens, or culinary operations
- At least 1 year of supervisory experience — leading, coaching, or managing team members in a food safety or hospitality environment
- No specific license or certification is required — though food safety qualifications such as HACCP are always an advantage in Dubai
