Job Description

Want to grow as a chef? This conference centre kitchen in Germiston gives you real stations and real volume. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The site is in Germiston; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

Clean down your section, deep-clean the fryer and scrub the extractor filters.
Prep veg, sauces, marinades and portions from the daily mise en place list.
Cook steaks, burgers and grills to the temperature on the docket.
Bake breads, pastries or desserts for the morning buffet.
Run your station during service and call back every ticket from the pass.

You'll need

Comfortable in heat, on your feet, for long split shifts
You know food safety basics under R638 and HACCP
1 to 3 years in a busy commercial kitchen
A culinary certificate or City & Guilds, or solid on-the-job experience
Weekend, holiday and evening work is part of the deal

What's in it for you

On-the-job training with a path to chef de partie
Two staff meals per shift
Live-in accommodation at lodge postings
Chef whites and safety shoes provided

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Germiston; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

List your stations (grill, pastry, cold, sauce) under each job; head chefs scan for this first.
Do not leave gaps unexplained; if you did casual banquet work between jobs, say so on your CV.
