Executive Chef - BUSY Luxury Resort Property on Vancouver Island **IMMEDIATE HIRE**

Title: Executive Chef

Salary & Perks: $80,000/year + relocation assistance, accommodation, and benefits

Location: Vancouver Island

Are you someone who people naturally gravitate towards? We're looking for a "new-school" Executive Chef who knows how to run a modern kitchen, motivating & mentoring teams in a way that is empowering and encourages professional development. This location is on the more remote side, so we need someone who comes armed with a certain resiliency and tenacity, who won't give up when crunch time starts. If you come armed with key team members who will relocate with you, all the better!

The ideal candidate must have a thorough knowledge Pacific North West cuisine, drawing inspiration from the rugged rainforest of BC's coast and pulling those flavours into seasonal menus designed to take the taste buds on a journey. We need someone who isn't afraid to try new things and can adapt a menu as the seasons and local offerings shift. A background in a luxury hotel or resort setting would be an asset, but not essential.

To be considered for this position, the ideal candidate will be:

• Super creative & knows their way through ingredients from the sea
• VERY community orientated, a real mentor looking to bring up new chefs into the industry
• Proactive mindset when it comes to the mindset on menu creation, building relationships with local suppliers
• Strongly knowledgeable of PNW cuisine
• Confident in pre-opening and re-opening at a resort
• Natural leadership skills, providing motivation and a hands-on approach to coaching
