Job description

JOB OVERVIEW
Your role will be to assist in the preparation, cooking and packaging of our BBQ slow smoked meats for our menus, according to production needs and weekly schedule; ensuring a quality product is produced in a safe and efficient manner and the kitchen and necessary equipment is kept clean and tidy before, during and after each step in the production process.
