• Prepare and maintain prep lists in collaboration with the Head Chef.
• Coordinate event pack-outs and ensure all equipment and food are prepared accurately.
• Lead kitchen teams during onsite and offsite events.
• Train, mentor and support junior chefs, casuals and contractors.
• Maintain quality control, recipe consistency and portion standards.
• Ensure food safety documentation and daily compliance records are completed accurately.
• Assist with stock takes, ordering and inventory management.
• Check deliveries and report any discrepancies.
• Execute live-fire cooking across a variety of venues and event locations.
• Assist with preservation programs including curing, fermenting, smoking and pickling.
• Maintain a clean, organised and professional kitchen environment.
