Job description

Are you passionate about food, eager to learn, and ready to start or further develop your culinary career in an international hotel environment? Join Hilton Rotterdam and become part of our passionate kitchen team, with a particular focus on the evening service in Jaq, our restaurant.

What will you be doing?

As a Commis de Cuisine, you support our kitchen team in delivering exceptional culinary experiences to our guests, with a particular focus on the evening service in Jaq, our restaurant. You keep your section stocked with the right mise-en-place, prepare and present dishes to Hilton's standards and recipes, and keep a close eye on food quality, presentation and portion control throughout the shift.

Because Jaq also serves breakfast, lunch, banqueting events and room service, you regularly lend a hand there too, so no two days look exactly the same. You help keep the kitchen safe and hygienic by maintaining HACCP standards, support with inventory management and stock control, contribute to buffet presentations and food displays, and stay curious about new culinary trends and food presentation techniques.

What are we looking for?

To apply for this role, three things are a must: you know cooking techniques and cutting techniques and have worked in a professional kitchen before, you already have a valid work permit for the Netherlands, and you live in or around Rotterdam. Everything else below is a pre, not a requirement. We love it when you bring a genuine passion for cooking and hospitality, a positive and proactive attitude, and the ability to stay sharp in a fast-paced kitchen. You're a team player with strong communication skills, ideally with some knowledge of food safety and hygiene standards, and you're flexible to work mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays.

What do we offer?

• A contract of 32 hours per week, mainly covering the evening shifts in Jaq, our restaurant.
• A salary of €2.468,35 gross per month based on 38 hours per week, according to salary scale III of the Horeca Collective Labour Agreement (CAO Horeca).
• 25 paid holiday days per full year (based on a full-time contract).
• Travel allowance according to the Hilton Rotterdam scheme, if you live more than 5 km from the hotel.
• Pension accrual through Pensioenfonds Horeca & Catering.
• Plenty of opportunities for personal and professional development through Hilton University, LinkedIn Learning, Harvard ManageMentor, and eCornell.
• An unforgettable Guest Experience: enjoy a complimentary overnight stay at Hilton Rotterdam, including dinner and breakfast for you and your plus one.
• Exclusive Hilton GO! Team Member rates and Friends & Family discounts at Hilton Hotels worldwide.
• 50% discount on Food & Beverage at participating Managed Hilton Hotels in the Netherlands.
• 24/7 access to our fitness facilities, even on your days off.
• The opportunity to build your career within one of the world's leading hospitality brands.
