Sous Chef

Packed with flavour and character, Master Kong is the ultimate Asian fusion experience conveniently located at the base of The Mount. Think the colourful vibes of Asian night markets meets the laid-back Mount scene, with a healthy side of handcrafted cocktails. Master Kong is looking for a skilled Sous Chef to support our Head Chef and lead the team through busy services.

You’ll oversee prep and cooking across the kitchen, maintain communication between the front and back of house, and ensure every dish meets our quality and timing standards. You’ll also help manage ordering, costs, training, and kitchen organisation, stepping up when the Head Chef is away. To succeed in this role, you’ll need at least two years’ experience as a Senior Chef de Partie or Sous Chef, an NCEA Level 4 qualification in cookery, and leadership experience or a strong desire to develop those skills.

You’ll thrive under pressure, enjoy mentoring others, and bring creativity and consistency to every service.
