About this role
At The Ritz-Carlton's Atlanta location, the Lead Steward role centers on managing the dishroom and stewarding operations while supporting the broader kitchen team. You'll oversee the organization and maintenance of cleaning supplies, equipment, and storage areas; operate and maintain specialized equipment like dishwashing machines and trash compactors; and ensure that all wares, pots, pans, and utensils are properly cleaned, sanitized, and stored according to company standards. The position also involves completing sanitation checklists, rotating stock, and maintaining the loading dock and dish room spaces to the high standards expected at a luxury hotel.
What sets this apart from a standard stewarding position is the leadership component. You'll assist management in hiring, training, scheduling, and evaluating team members, serving as a role model and helping to motivate and coach staff toward shared goals. This requires someone with at least a year of stewarding or related kitchen experience who is ready to take on greater responsibility without necessarily having formal supervisory experience.
The work is physically demanding—you'll be on your feet for extended periods, lifting and moving items up to 25 pounds, and reaching overhead and below knee level throughout your shift. If you're organized, safety-conscious, and comfortable working in a fast-paced hotel kitchen environment while beginning to develop leadership skills, this role offers a pathway to grow within Ritz-Carlton operations.
