Steward

Hilton, a global leader in hospitality, is looking to fill a full-time Steward role on its onsite team in Dubai, AE. The position focuses on keeping serviceware spotless, maintaining kitchen hygiene, and supporting events to ensure smooth service and memorable guest experiences.

This is a hands-on, frontline role that appeals to someone who takes pride in cleanliness, organisation and guest-ready service. If you value teamwork, ownership of tasks, and a steady eye for safety and hygiene, this could be a great fit.

Hilton emphasises integrity, leadership, teamwork, and accountability as core values, and it promotes a culture that has earned recognition on Great Place to Work and Fortune’s Worlds Best Workplaces lists. With a global brand portfolio and a mission to spread the light and warmth of hospitality, Hilton seeks people who want to start or grow their careers while helping guests feel welcomed and cared for.

What a typical day looks like in the steward role

Each day starts with keeping serviceware spotless, washing chinaware and silverware, scrubbing pots, and polishing utensils to a high standard that guests notice. You’ll also keep the back-of-house stocked and organized so the team can serve smoothly, ensuring supplies and equipment are ready when needed.

As events and banquets come up, you’ll help prepare and set up clean serviceware and keep the kitchen area tidy through routine cleaning and waste removal. You’ll follow health and safety protocols, handling hazardous substances safely and adhering to hygiene rules, with a ready eye for hazards and maintenance needs. When something needs attention, you’ll report it to the supervisor on duty and, when appropriate, share your know-how with newer team members to strengthen how the team performs.

What Hilton expects in this role

To do well, the company looks for several essential capabilities that you’ll bring to the team:

• Experience keeping dishware and kitchen tools pristine and ready for service
• Ability to track stock, keep supplies organized, and anticipate what will be needed next
• Comfort with routine cleaning tasks and waste management to maintain a safe, hygienic space
• Commitment to safety, including proper handling of hazardous materials and adherence to hygiene standards
• Proactiveness in spotting safety or equipment issues and letting the supervisor know promptly
• Ability to guide or train newer colleagues to help the team perform better

Bonus qualities that help you stand out

Along with the must-haves, Hilton appreciates extras that align with its culture and pace:

• A genuine enthusiasm for hospitality and guest care
• Integrity in every action and reliable, steady behaviour
• Leadership potential and a collaborative approach
• A mindset of ownership and accountability for the tasks at hand
• A bias toward doing things now, especially during busy periods
• A desire to contribute to an award-winning team culture
