Sous Chef

Do you love great food, great vibes, and a supportive kitchen culture? Black and Gold Venues is looking for a talented Chef to join our crew at the Harbourside Function venue. No two days are the same here - you'll put your skillset to the test across everything from high-end canapé events and daytime catering to buffets and set-menu dinners.

Come bring your energy to a team that truly makes you feel welcome. Black and Gold 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. 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.
