Job description

A Culinary & Chef Instructor at Wings Institute runs the commercial kitchen lab at the Alkapuri campus in Vadodara, teaching Indian and international cuisine, bakery, confectionery and plating. Bakery and pastry are taught inside this role, not as a separate vacancy.

What you will do

• Run practicals in the commercial kitchen lab — knife skills, mother sauces, Indian and continental production, plating
• Teach bakery and confectionery, including breads, cakes, pastry and basic sugar work
• Enforce kitchen hygiene, food safety and HACCP discipline, and teach why each rule exists
• Manage kitchen inventory, indenting and lab consumables
• Prepare students for hotel kitchen internships and commis-level placements

Who we are looking for

• A culinary degree or diploma, or equivalent professional kitchen experience
• Five to ten years in professional kitchens, at sous chef level or equivalent responsibility
• Demonstrable bakery and plating ability alongside hot-kitchen work
• Confident spoken English

Skills

• Indian and international cuisine production
• Bakery, confectionery and pastry
• Plating and presentation
• Kitchen hygiene, food safety and HACCP
• Kitchen inventory and indenting

What the job offers

• Fixed 10 AM to 7 PM hours, Monday to Saturday, with one weekly off — no rosters, no night shifts
• One central campus at Alkapuri, Vadodara — no travelling between branches
• Teach inside real training facilities: a 24-seat Airbus A330 mock cabin, a commercial kitchen lab, a fine-dine mock restaurant, a front-desk PMS lab and a grooming studio
• A 17-year-old institute (parent EEC-Enbee since 1997) with around 500 students a year
• All major public holidays
• A kitchen career with fixed daytime hours — no dinner service, no double shifts, no festival rota
• Full-time or part-time engagement, whichever fits

Terms

Full-time or part-time. 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday to Saturday, with one weekly off. Experience: 5–10 years. Qualification: A culinary degree or diploma, or equivalent kitchen experience. Monthly salary: ₹15,000 – ₹25,000 / month.

Where the job is

The campus is on the 2nd floor of RG Square 14, Nutan Bharat Society, Alkapuri, Vadodara — about 4 km from Vadodara Junction and about 8 km from Vadodara airport (BDQ). Candidates commute daily from Alkapuri, Fatehgunj, Manjalpur, Gotri, Karelibaug, Race Course, and from Sayajigunj, Akota, Subhanpura, Sama, Waghodia Road, Atladara, Vasna-Bhayli, Tandalja, Nizampura, Harni Road, Makarpura, Maneja. This is a Vadodara-based role: candidates from Anand 45 km, Nadiad 55 km, Godhra 70 km, Bharuch 75 km, Ankleshwar 90 km commute in daily along the highway and rail corridors. Ahmedabad 110 km, Gandhinagar 130 km, Surat 165 km are not daily-commute distances, so the role suits candidates already in Vadodara or relocating to it.

Working at Wings Institute

Wings Institute is a single-campus institute in Alkapuri, Vadodara, teaching around 500 students a year since 2008. Faculty, trainers and counsellors all work on one floor rather than across branches, on fixed hours with no rosters. We hire men and women on the same terms, considered on merit against the role requirements listed above.
