Position Overview
As Food Safety Supervisor at JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai, you will be the daily operational guardian of food safety and hygiene standards across one of the UAE’s most complex and demanding luxury hospitality environments. Your responsibilities span conducting daily walk-throughs and non-compliance inspections using Marriott’s Global Food Safety 43-point checklist, verifying Dubai Food Code and brand standard compliance, checking cleanliness and disinfection across all food-handling areas, inspecting food handling behaviors, overseeing monthly food sampling, supporting training programmes, managing Cold Chain compliance, ensuring FIFO practices, and providing regular feedback to the Director of Food Safety & Environmental Services. This is a critical, high-visibility role in a 5-star hotel property where food safety is a non-negotiable foundation of the extraordinary guest experience JW Marriott is globally celebrated for delivering.
Why This Role Matters: As Food Safety Supervisor at JW Marriott Marquis Dubai, your daily inspections and hygiene enforcement activities directly protect thousands of hotel guests and associates who interact with food and beverages across 10 restaurants, lounges, banqueting facilities, and room service operations every single day. In a 5-star luxury hotel of this scale and international profile, one lapse in food safety can have serious consequences — and your vigilance, technical knowledge, and proactive inspection discipline are the most important defences this hotel has against food safety risks. At JW Marriott Marquis Dubai, your food safety expertise is not a background function — it is front and centre of the guest experience.
Key Responsibilities
Daily Food Safety Inspections & Non-Compliance Reporting
- Conduct daily walk-throughs of all food handling areas, bars, kitchens, restaurant outlets, and storage zones — identifying non-compliances and reporting them promptly through the correct internal channels
- Verify that all Marriott Global Food Safety standards are followed consistently — using the 43-point food safety checklist as the daily inspection framework across all F&B operations
- Ensure JW Marriott Marquis Dubai brand standards and Dubai Food Code requirements are met on a daily basis — maintaining up-to-date knowledge of both and applying them accurately across all inspections
- Inspect, analyze, and identify food safety risks at every stage — purchasing, receiving, storage, and preparation of food and beverage — ensuring risks are communicated and corrected without delay
Cleanliness, Disinfection & Hygiene Compliance
- Check cleanliness and disinfection standards across all food-handling environments on a daily basis — communicating observations and corrective action requirements directly to the stewarding department
- Conduct regular inspections of all food handling areas, bars, rooms, amenities, and associate behavior — assessing compliance with sanitation standards and discussing findings with department heads and supervisors for action
- Ensure that sick food handlers — particularly kitchen, food, and beverage staff — are identified and prevented from preparing, handling, or serving food in line with Marriott health and safety policy
- Follow and enforce personal hygiene procedures — including proper handwashing, handwear use, hairnet and hat compliance, and appropriate footwear — ensuring all food served to guests is safe for consumption
FIFO, Cold Chain, HACCP & Food Program Compliance
- Follow and ensure full compliance with food safety and handling policies — including product rotation (FIFO — First In, First Out), dating and labeling, cooler and freezer organization, and Cold Chain compliance across all departments
- Check kitchen logs for food safety program compliance (A1, A2, A3 checklists and equivalent) — verifying that all monitoring activities are documented accurately and on schedule
- Monitor and verify the correct temperature of appliances, food storage equipment, and food products using relevant monitoring apparatus — including temperature monitoring systems, fans, drains, and doors — and report issues to facility management promptly
- Maintain current knowledge of Marriott’s Food Safety Programs, Dubai Municipality standards, and all applicable regulations within the assigned area of responsibility — staying updated as standards evolve
Monthly Food Sampling, Guest Complaints & Training Support
- Conduct monthly food sampling activities in compliance with Dubai Municipality requirements and Marriott Global Food Safety standards — ensuring proper sample collection, documentation, and laboratory submission processes
- Support data collection and accurate recording of guest and supplier complaints related to food safety — providing the Director of FS & ES with timely, well-documented reports for review and action
- Assist the Director of Food Safety & Environmental Services and Food Safety Manager in preparing training materials, information boards, monthly newsletters, and food safety posters for associates
- Conduct trial runs as and when scheduled or required — and fulfill administrative duties related to food safety documentation, inspection logs, and compliance records as directed by the Food Safety Manager
Qualifications & Requirements
Required Skills & Experience
- Proven food safety experience — including practical knowledge of HACCP principles, hygiene inspection methodology, and Dubai Food Code compliance in a hospitality, food manufacturing, or food service environment

Preferred Attributes
- Prior experience working in a 5-star luxury hotel food safety, hygiene, or quality assurance role — particularly within the UAE market or a comparable international hospitality environment
