• Site Maintenance: Deep clean heavy kitchen machinery and maintain floor safety to avoid any "audit flags" or hazards.

• Experience: 1–2 years of experience in a professional kitchen environment (luxury or high-volume experience is a plus).

• Work Ethic: A "no task is too small" attitude. You take pride in a spotless workspace.

• Stamina & Speed: Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment where private jet schedules demand strict deadlines.

• Communication: Good level of English to communicate effectively with the culinary and concierge teams.

• Reliability: Punctual, proactive, and capable of working independently without constant supervision.

• Knowledge: Familiarity with COSHH and basic Food Safety regulations is highly desirable.

• The Opportunity: Join a fast-growing, elite business where your contribution to the kitchen’s success is truly valued.

• Environment: A people-first, high-performance kitchen focused on craftsmanship and team spirit.
