Hi Chef is growing exceptionally fast. Following a record-breaking week, we are expanding our kitchen leadership team and hiring a Sous Chef who can help deliver exceptional food at substantial volume.

We bring the technique, care, and attention to detail of fine dining to premium meal prep and catering. Working alongside a Michelin-trained culinary team, you will help execute a rotating menu with ambitious flavours, precise cooking, and consistently high standards.

Experience in high-end kitchens is essential. We are looking for someone with a strong palate, excellent technical fundamentals, and the ability to reproduce our Executive and Head Chef’s standards consistently.

You will be responsible for:

- Leading daily prep and production alongside the Executive and Head Chef.
- Executing recipes accurately, weighing ingredients gram by gram and maintaining consistent yields, portions, and presentation.
- Tasting throughout production, identifying imbalances, and adjusting seasoning, acidity, richness, and texture to meet the intended flavour profile.
- Maintaining quality across large batches and busy production periods.
- Coordinating prep priorities and supporting cooks to keep production organized and on schedule.
- Overseeing accurate portioning, meal assembly, and execution of dietary modifications.
- Maintaining a clean, organized kitchen with proper food handling, labelling, storage,



and stock rotation.
- Communicating shortages, quality concerns, and production issues early.

You should bring:
- Proven experience in fine dining, luxury hospitality, or a similarly demanding culinary environment.
- Experience as a Sous Chef, Junior Sous Chef, or a strong Chef de Partie ready to take the next step.
- A developed palate and the ability to balance flavour confidently.
- Strong fundamentals in protein cookery, sauces, vegetable preparation, and kitchen organization.
- The discipline to follow established recipes precisely and reproduce the same result across every batch.
- The ability to work efficiently at volume while maintaining attention to detail.
- Calm, clear communication and a hands-on approach to leadership.
- Reliability, accountability, and a willingness to receive feedback and act on it.
- Consistent availability Wednesday through Saturday during the stated hours.

This role offers the chance to work closely with an experienced culinary team, contribute to a varied and evolving menu, and take on meaningful responsibility as Hi Chef continues to grow. We care deeply about the food we send out. The right person will share our pursuit of perfection and understand that consistency comes from the small details, repeated properly, every day.
