Twin Farms is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to providing a workplace free from discrimination and harassment in accordance with all applicable laws.

At Twin Farms, you’ll be part of a culinary team that takes pride in thoughtful cooking, careful preparation, and working well together. You’ll work closely with our Executive Chef and Sous Chefs to prepare dishes that meet our standards for flavor, presentation, and consistency.

This is a hands-on role involving both preparation and service. Depending on kitchen needs, your work may include breakfast, lunch, dinner, buffet, and pastry preparation.

• Maintain a clean, safe kitchen: Keep workstations, equipment, and utensils clean and follow food safety and kitchen safety procedures.
• Contribute your ideas: Share suggestions for seasonal dishes and improvements to preparation or service.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong understanding of professional kitchen operations, cooking techniques, and food preparation methods.
• Ability to produce consistent, high-quality dishes in a timely manner within a fast-paced environment.
• Familiarity with dietary restrictions, food allergies, and nutritional considerations.
• Ability to follow direction while also managing tasks independently with strong time-management skills.
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail at assigned workstations.
• Positive attitude and ability to work collaboratively with kitchen leadership and team members.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality, cleanliness, and food safety.
• Ability to maintain composure and efficiency during busy service periods.
• Culinary education and/or relevant on-the-job training preferred.
• Minimum 2 years of experience in a fine-dining restaurant, luxury hotel, or resort kitchen preferred.
• Fast-paced culinary environment with varying service demands.
• Extended periods of standing and walking.
• Frequent bending, reaching, and lifting; occasional lifting up to 50 lbs.
• Requires both independent work and close collaboration with culinary team members.
• Flexible schedule required, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
