  • Deep understanding of yield optimization, cuts, aging, and storage

  • Knowledge of sustainable sourcing and responsible utilization

  • Ability to work cleanly, efficiently, and precisely in an open-kitchen environment

  • Calm, disciplined leadership presence and strong communication skills

Responsibilities
  • Break down whole animals and fish with precision and minimal waste

  • Maintain impeccable organization, labeling, and sanitation standards

  • Uphold safety, sanitation, and HACCP protocols at all times

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to be part of an   opening team   under Michelin-level leadership

  • A professional, respectful kitchen culture focused on craftsmanship and growth

  • Hands-on work with premium ingredients and whole-animal programs
