Corporate Restaurant jobs in Aberdeen

Harry Fraser Catering Services is recruiting an experienced chef to join our Inverurie-based catering team.

This is not a restaurant kitchen position. The role combines food production in our main catering kitchen with cooking and service at weddings, corporate functions, private events, BBQs and large-scale events across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.

The work is extremely varied. You may be preparing and delivering a private dinner for a small group one day and producing several hundred portions for a major event the next.

Key Responsibilities

• Preparing and producing food in our Inverurie kitchen
• Preparing dishes in advance for wedEvent & Banqueting Chefdings, functions and outside events
• Cooking and finishing food on site at events
• Working across weddings, banquets, private dining, BBQs and corporate catering
• Preparing equipment and food for transport to venues
• Assisting with event setup and loading where required
• Maintaining excellent standards of food safety, hygiene and presentation
• Working independently when required and as part of the wider catering team

About You

We are looking for an experienced chef who is comfortable working in a varied catering environment.

Ideally, you will have:

• At least five years of professional chef experience
• Experience in banqueting, events, outside catering or high-volume food production
• Confidence producing both high-quality plated food and larger-volume catering
• Strong organisation and time-management skills
• The ability to work calmly under pressure
• A practical and flexible approach
• A full clean driving licence
• Suitable references from previous employers

Previous outside catering experience would be particularly advantageous.

Hours

This role involves a mixture of kitchen preparation and event work.

Because of the nature of the business, evening and weekend work is an essential part of the position, particularly during the main wedding and event season.

Working hours will vary according to the event programme.

Pay

Pay will be agreed according to experience, ability and the level of responsibility the successful applicant is able to take on.

Why Join Us?

This role is ideal for a chef who enjoys variety and would prefer not to work in the same restaurant environment every day.

You will be involved in the full catering process, from preparation and production through to cooking and service at the event itself.

To apply, please send an up-to-date CV outlining your relevant chef and catering experience.

References will be required.

Pay: From £35,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
