Redesigned interiors bring authentic Saudi heritage and craftsmanship to life, while our distinguished team provides a bespoke experience through thoughtful, personalized service and hospitality.

Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh enjoys a prime location in the heart of the capital, within the iconic 99‑storey Kingdom Tower. Situated at one of the city’s most prestigious addresses, the hotel offers exceptional proximity to key business districts, shopping centres, and cultural attractions.

As a Sous Chef, you play a key operational role within the culinary team, supporting the Executive Chef and Chef de Cuisine in delivering exceptional food quality and consistency across your assigned outlet or function. While this is not a senior management position, it carries significant responsibility in overseeing daily kitchen operations and ensuring smooth service execution.

Your primary responsibility is to support and supervise food preparation within your designated area, ensuring the highest standards of taste, presentation, and quality are consistently maintained. You will guide and assist Chef de Parties, Demi Chefs, and Commis Chefs, ensuring efficient workflow and timely service delivery.

In addition to food production, you will help monitor portion control, minimize waste, and maintain cost awareness within your section. Maintaining strict adherence to health, hygiene, and safety standards is essential. This includes proper food storage, cleanliness, sanitation procedures, and compliance with HACCP and local regulations.

You will collaborate closely with the broader culinary team during service periods, special events, and banquet functions. Your ability to lead by example, communicate clearly, and remain composed under pressure will contribute to a positive and productive kitchen environment.

As a Sous Chef, your culinary skills, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence will ensure that every dish leaving the kitchen reflects the quality and standards of Four Seasons.
