Job description

Chef de Partie / Junior Sous Chef / Executive Chef

Private Events, Catering & Live Seafood Kitchen
Location: Singapore (On-site)

We’re not a typical restaurant kitchen — and we don’t want to be. Every event is different, every menu is custom, and every service is a new challenge. From intimate fine‑dining experiences to large‑scale celebrations, we work with some of the world’s best ingredients: live seafood, premium meats, and seasonal produce. Our clients include high‑profile individuals, celebrities, and private hosts who expect nothing but the best.

Here, you won’t be “stuck on one station.” You’ll grow into a versatile, well‑rounded chef — involved not only in cooking, but also in menu creation, prep strategy, wholesale planning, and team leadership as you progress. If you love learning, adapting, and pushing yourself beyond routine kitchen work, you’ll thrive with us.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Prepare and execute dishes across multiple cuisines with consistency and precision

• Work hands‑on with live seafood and premium meats, developing advanced handling and butchery skills

• Contribute creatively to bespoke, event‑specific menus

• Support prep planning, kitchen flow, and wholesale/event execution

• Maintain strict hygiene, safety, and organizational standards

• Collaborate closely with chefs, service teams, and clients for smooth service

(Executive Chef level will also oversee menu direction, kitchen leadership, team development, and operational standards.)

What We’re Looking For

• Chef de Partie: Minimum 3 years experience in a restaurant or hotel kitchen

• Junior Sous Chef: Minimum 5 years experience with section leadership

• Executive Chef: Minimum 8 years of professional kitchen experience with proven leadership

• Strong product knowledge, especially in seafood and premium ingredients

• Adaptable, detail‑driven, and quality‑focused

• Comfortable communicating with customers and contributing beyond the kitchen

• A team player who wants to grow into operations and leadership roles

Why Join Us?

• Exposure to diverse cuisines, menus, and private event formats

• Daily hands‑on experience with top‑tier ingredients

• A real career pathway — not limited to the traditional restaurant ladder

• Creative freedom to influence menus and concepts

• Competitive incentives, insurance, and health benefits

• A close‑knit team that works hard, supports each other, and takes pride in what we do
