Details 

Our original posting had “Chef De Cuisine” for a title, but what we’re looking for is a passionate, inspired, artistic and talented west-coast food-obsessed visionary to lead our culinary brigade and create memorable stories on plates.

We are Black Rock Resort in Ucluelet, on the edge of Pacific Rim National Park. Set amongst old growth Cedars and the rugged shoreline of Vancouver Island in the traditional territory of the Nuu-chah​-nulth people, our natural setting provides an incredible bounty of seasonal ingredients.

Come share your passion with guests from around the world and around the corner.  We’re building a playground for the culinarily adventurous based on mutual respect, inclusion, community, and growth.  

The Role:

Chief Food Geek is a natural leader that exudes positivity and passion for sharing their knowledge of unique ingredients and techniques and inspires their fellow cooks to be their best.

In the heat of service, you’re cool as a cucumber - diplomatic, direct, honest and understanding.

The Chief Food Geek is an active collaborator with the kitchen leadership team in creating menus and recipes that will help us to build a word-class food and beverage program for Black Rock resort. 

As you might expect, you’ll also be expected to forge relationships with local farms, fisherman and other purveyors of unique and exceptional ingredients.

We offer:

  • Wage Commensurate to Experience

  • Volunteer Support Opportunities
  • Team Enrichment Events
  • Financial Support for Relevant Education Opportunities
  • Low-cost On-site Housing, if Required and as Available
  • Year-round Employment
  • Inclusive Work Environment

This job description is intended an introduction of the role, rather than a complete list of skills, efforts, duties, responsibilities or working conditions associated with the position.

  • Knowledge of the west coast region and/ or local experience
