General Manager Catering

Hainaut Region · Permanent contract · Bilingual profile (FR/EN)

You are never the quietest one at the table. You are the one who already sees what is needed tomorrow, while the rest are still busy with today. You have catering in your DNA, but you think beyond the plate. Beyond the kitchen. Beyond the shift.

Aramark is looking for a General Manager to lead a special, dynamic site in Hainaut — an environment where the community is central, where expectations are high and constantly shifting. A site where operational sharpness goes hand in hand with strategic insight and human charisma.

Does this sound like your playground? Then read on.

▸ People manager at heart: you inspire, motivate, and provide direction

▸ Strong in stakeholder management — from kitchen assistant to executive level
