Steward

Majestic Hotel Group is looking for a dependable, hardworking Steward to join our culinary support team.

The Steward supports chefs and service teams by maintaining a steady flow of clean equipment, assisting with basic food preparation tasks when required, and following strict hygiene and safety procedures. This is an entry‑to‑mid level, hands‑on position ideal for candidates who take pride in reliability, teamwork, and attention to detail. We offer on‑the‑job training, clear progression pathways into stewarding leadership or kitchen roles, and a collaborative workplace culture that values respect and continuous improvement.

• Back‑of‑House Maintenance — Clean and sanitize kitchen workstations, floors, drains, and equipment; ensure all areas are tidy and free of hazards.
• Equipment Care — Inspect, sort, and store cleaned items correctly; report damaged or missing items to the stewarding supervisor.

• Waste and Recycling — Segregate and dispose of waste according to hotel procedures; support recycling and sustainability initiatives.
• Stock Handling — Receive and store stewarding supplies and detergents; assist with stock rotation and basic inventory checks.

• Teamwork — Work cooperatively with chefs, servers, and supervisors to maintain service flow and guest standards.
