Job Description
KBR is a global engineering, construction, and services company renowned for delivering innovative and mission-critical solutions to clients across various sectors, including defense, energy, and government services. Under the AFCAP V Program, KBR plays a pivotal role in supporting the U.S. Air Force by providing essential Dining Facility (DFAC) Services to the 380th Expeditionary Force Support Squadron (EFSS) at Al Dhafra Air Base. The company’s comprehensive approach not only includes top-tier food service operations but also extends to equipment maintenance, inspection, and overall base support that ensures mission success within the AFCENT Area of Responsibility (AOR).
The role of the Food Service Supervisor within this context is crucial for the seamless operation of the DFAC. This position involves frontline supervision of all daily dining facility activities, ensuring that high standards for food preparation, sanitation, customer service, and equipment operation are met rigorously in alignment with AFCAP, U.S. Air Force, and health regulatory requirements. The supervisor will manage a diverse, multi-cultural workforce, including U.S. Navy, local national, and other personnel, in a fast-paced and often high-tempo deployed environment. This ensures that both routine and surge operational demands are met efficiently without compromising quality or safety.
The Food Service Supervisor's responsibilities include maintaining a zero-harm workplace by enforcing stringent health and safety protocols, supervising shift staff such as cooks and food service workers, and overseeing meal service execution to guarantee timely and well-coordinated operations. This role requires meticulous attention to food safety practices including proper handling, temperature control, contamination prevention, and sanitation of all food prep and serving areas. Equipment maintenance is also a significant aspect, with the supervisor coordinating with maintenance teams to address any repairs or deficiencies proactively.
The supervisor must conduct thorough inspections before and after meal services to ensure readiness and proper closeout, manage inventory control to maintain adequate supply levels, and handle customer service concerns promptly to foster a positive dining experience. In addition, the role supports special events, surge operations, and contingency feeding requirements, demonstrating versatility and resilience in varied operational circumstances.
Overall, the Food Service Supervisor position at KBR is designed for a competent leader who can uphold rigorous operational standards, manage a culturally diverse team in demanding contexts, and contribute directly to sustaining vital military base operations. Holding a valid Secret clearance is mandatory, demonstrating trust and reliability in handling sensitive environments. This role not only contributes to KBR’s commitment to supporting the U.S. Air Force but also offers a dynamic and rewarding career path within the defense services industry.
