Job Description
Sous-Chef – Golden Peaks Restaurant at Aurum Lodge
Nordegg / Abraham Lake, Alberta Rockies
Why This Role Is Different
Imagine starting your prep with a sunrise over turquoise Abraham Lake and finishing service under some of the clearest night skies in the Rockies. Golden Peaks Restaurant pairs award-worthy, contemporary fine dining cuisine with the warm, personal hospitality of a family-run mountain lodge. As our Sous-Chef, you’ll shape menus that celebrate Alberta’s wild places—think bison short rib glazed with local honey, spruce-tip beurre blanc, foraged berry gastriques—all served in a dining room where guests swap hiking tales by the fire.
What You’ll Do
Lead the Line & Inspire the Team – Run smooth, high-touch dinner services for 30–40 covers, mentoring a tight-knit brigade of cooks and apprentices.
Craft Seasonal Menus – Collaborate with the Executive Chef to design tasting menus that spotlight regional farms, ranches, and foragers.
Drive Quality & Consistency – Own daily mise en place, ordering, inventory, and HACCP standards; your station is spotless and your plating photo-ready every night.
Innovate & Educate – Host occasional chef’s-table evenings and mini-workshops for guests curious about sourdough starters, foraging, or nose-to-tail butchery.
Champion Sustainability – Reduce waste and build relationships with local producers along Highway 11 and the Icefields Parkway.
What Makes You a Great Fit
3+ years in fine-dining kitchens (mountain or resort experience a bonus).
You thrive on collaboration, calm leadership, and turning service challenges into teachable moments.
Knife skills so clean they’d make a Swiss watch jealous; plating that tells a story.
You’re as excited about a 50-km radius carrot as you are about truffle oil—and you know when to use each.
Eligible to work in Canada and comfortable living in a remote, adventure-rich setting.
Perks & Lifestyle
Competitive salary + share of gratuities (commensurate with experience).
On-site staff accommodation at subsidized rate—wake up steps from the pass and the trailhead.
Two consecutive days off to summit, paddle, or simply breathe alpine air.
Chef apron, staff meals at advantageous prices, and pro-deal discounts with local adventure outfitters.
Shoulder-season creative projects (recipe testing, pop-ups, community dinners).
Genuine career growth: the Exec Chef role here became available when our last Sous took it.
