Work-Force
An opportunity has arisen for a Sous Chef in Germiston. Suitably qualified candidates from across Gauteng are invited to apply.
About the Opportunity
The Sous Chef vacancy forms part of how the Germiston branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the hospitality jobs side of the business moving forward.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the hospitality jobs team in Gauteng make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the hospitality jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Germiston much easier.
Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Germiston teams, and the new Sous Chef will feel that from the first week.
