Job description

Kitchen Porter – Hawksmoor Chicago

Chicago is the historical powerhouse of American beef, and when Hawksmoor found out about an actual powerhouse building, it felt like fate. So, after years of dreaming, we’ve set out eyes on coming to Chicago. And we’ve found ourselves a home we cannot wait to settle into.

The LaSalle Street Cable Car Powerhouse is a beautiful, designated landmark, initially opened in 1887, in the heyday of Chicago’s cable care system. We intend to do it justice by restoring the original features to their former glory and, at the same time, breathe new life into the space.

Reporting to the Executive Chef, we’re looking for a brand-new Dishwasher to join our team and open our second international restaurant in Chicago.

Work somewhere awesome:

Careers with Hawksmoor Group are among the best – generous pay and benefits, award-winning restaurants, unrivalled career opportunities and some of the happiest people in the business (as voted by the people who work here). The Sunday Times has recognised us in their Best Companies awards, for seven years in a row, as one of the top 100 companies to work for in the UK and we endeavour to do the same in the US.

Key responsibilities of the role include:

• Operate and utilize the dish machine and cleaning supplies
• Wash, sanitize and dry all kitchen utensils, equipment and other items placed in the dish area or as requested by Management and Staff
• Safely and effectively use and operate all necessary tools and equipment
• Ability to effectively communicate in order to perform and follow job requirements in written and spoken direction
• Multitask calmly and effectively under pressure
• Work in a confined, crowded space of variable noise and temperature levels
• Able to move and lift up to 10 pounds, frequently move and/or lift up to 25 pounds, and occasionally move and/or lift up to 50 pounds
• Ability to stand and walk for an entire shift and move safely through all areas of the restaurant, which may include stairs, uneven or slick surfaces
• Health & safety awareness
• Maintenance and general up keeping of kitchen equipment
• Setup and breakdown of the general kitchen area i.e. bins/bin room/floors/walls etc.
• A good understanding of chemicals and cleaning equipment

To be considered for the role you will have:

• Extensive experience working in professional kitchens in Chicago.
• Comfortable and experienced with high volume businesses in terms of both covers and revenue.
• Hard work and dedication.
• Pride in a job well done.
