Join Our Team as a Sous Chef at Storm Mountain Lodge!

Nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, Storm Mountain Lodge is renowned for its exceptional dining experiences and rustic charm. We are seeking an experienced Sous Chef to join our team and elevate our culinary offerings. Our lodge is celebrated for its commitment to quality and guest satisfaction, making it a premier destination for travelers.

Joining our team is a one-of-a-kind experience in the Canadian Rockies. We are excited about creating life-long memories for our guests by sharing your passion and expertise. We offer an opportunity to live, work, and play in a remote wilderness lodge in Banff National Park, which sits 5,577 feet above sea level in a pristine sub-alpine forest. There’s no commute as we all live and work onsite, but you may have to dodge the occasional moose on your stroll to the office. The surrounding rugged peaks, valleys, and passes in the Bow Valley offer unparalleled back-country skiing, hiking, biking, and paddling.

Role Overview: The Sous Chef will support the Executive Chef in managing the kitchen's day-to-day operations, driving culinary excellence, and contributing to the creation of innovative, seasonal menus.

Sustainability Initiatives: Advocate for and implement sustainable practices in food sourcing, preparation, and waste management.
Quality Assurance: Ensure all dishes meet the lodge’s rigorous standards for taste and presentation.
What We Offer:

Competitive Compensation: $27.00-$35.00 per hour, commensurate with your expertise and commitment.
Gratuity Benefits: Additional earnings through guest gratuities, potentially increasing your income by up to $4,000.
Health and Dental Benefits: Comprehensive coverage after 3 months.
On-site Housing: Is included as a benefit.
Supportive Team Environment: Be part of a vibrant community where your contributions are valued.
Career Development: Opportunities for skill enhancement and culinary innovation.
Work-Life Balance: Enjoy the natural beauty of the Canadian Rockies while working in a supportive and professional team committed to excellence.
