We are seeking a strong Sous Chef to support culinary operations within a high-end conference center and executive dining environment.

  • Train and lead line-level culinary staff
  • Maintain high standards of food quality and presentation

What We’re Looking For

  • Sous Chef or strong Jr Sous experience
  • Background in:
    • Hotels (banquet/catering)
    • Conference centers
    • Contract dining (Compass, Aramark, Sodexo, etc.)
  • Experience executing multiple events and high-volume service
  • Strong organization, cleanliness, and attention to detail
  • Hands-on leadership and team development mindset
  • Professional appearance and communication

Why This Role

  • Primarily Monday–Friday schedule (event-driven flexibility)
  • High-end, professional work environment
  • Stable, long-term account
  • Growth opportunity within a structured organization
