وظيفة رئيس طهاة المأكولات البحرية (مطبخ عربي ومتوسطي) شاغرة لدى Abareez Advanced Company بالرياض

Location: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Abareez Advanced Company is seeking an experienced Seafood Chef de Cuisine for Abareez, an upcoming large-scale, flagship multi-cuisine dining destination in Riyadh.

Our Seafood concept will focus on Arabic and Mediterranean seafood traditions, with particular emphasis on Egyptian and Levantine styles. This is not a Japanese, Asian, or sushi-focused seafood concept.

We are looking for a chef with genuine, hands-on seafood expertise who can lead the development and execution of a broad, approachable seafood menu suited to the Saudi market.

• Lead the Seafood kitchen and take ownership of its day-to-day culinary operations.
• Develop and refine a strong Arabic and Mediterranean seafood menu, particularly drawing from Egyptian and Levantine seafood traditions.
• Demonstrate strong knowledge of whole fish, shellfish and other seafood selection, preparation, fabrication and cooking techniques.
• Develop and standardize recipes, marinades, sauces, seasonings, accompaniments and presentation standards across the menu.
• Ensure consistent execution of grilled, fried, baked and other traditional seafood preparations in a high-volume restaurant environment.
• Lead, train and develop the Seafood kitchen brigade, including Sous Chefs, CDPs and Commis.
• Establish kitchen SOPs, preparation standards, portion controls and production systems during the pre-opening phase.
• Work closely with the Executive Chef on menu development, tastings, kitchen readiness and operational planning.
• Maintain strong control over seafood quality, yield, portioning, wastage and food cost.
• Ensure the highest standards of food safety, hygiene, organization and kitchen discipline.
  

• Strong professional culinary experience with a significant focus on seafood cuisine.
• Demonstrable expertise in Arabic and/or Mediterranean seafood, with strong exposure to Egyptian and Levantine seafood styles highly preferred.
• Strong practical knowledge of fish and shellfish handling, preparation, cooking methods and product quality.
• Experience developing and executing seafood menus in high-volume restaurants, seafood restaurants, hotels or premium dining operations.
• Strong understanding of seafood yield, portion control, wastage management and food cost.
• Proven ability to lead, train and develop a kitchen team.
• Previous experience as a Chef de Cuisine, Head Chef, Senior Sous Chef or equivalent senior culinary position with substantial seafood responsibility.
• Pre-opening experience is an advantage, but not mandatory.
  

This is a key culinary leadership position within a major new restaurant project, offering the successful candidate the opportunity to shape the Seafood concept from pre-opening through launch and ongoing operations.

We are particularly interested in chefs who combine deep, practical seafood knowledge with authentic understanding of Arabic and Mediterranean flavor profiles, rather than chefs whose seafood experience is primarily centered around sushi or Asian cuisine.

• Qualified candidates are invited to apply with an updated CV highlighting their relevant seafood experience.
