Join Our Kitchen Brigade

Ghent Marriott Hotel is looking for a versatile and driven Chef de Partie who enjoys working in a dynamic team serving multiple F&B outlets. You will work not only in the award-winning Midtown Grill restaurant but also support kitchen service in our event spaces, bar, and sunny terrace on the Korenlei. Ready to make a difference in a diverse, quality-driven kitchen? Apply today!

A Day in Your Chef’s Hat
As a Chef de Partie, you’ll be responsible for your own section – both hot and cold – depending on the needs of the moment. You easily switch between dishes for the restaurant, events, or bar service and work with attention to detail, taste and speed.

You’ll be part of a professional team, closely collaborating with the sous-chef and head chef. You’ll also get the opportunity to work with our Josper charcoal oven. That’s why it’s important that you’re familiar with different levels of doneness such as blue, rare, and medium, to serve our guests perfectly grilled meats.

Your Responsibilities:

• Preparing, cooking, and finishing dishes for both the hot and cold sections.
• Correct use of the Josper charcoal oven and knowledge of various cooking levels.
• Monitoring quality, freshness, and presentation of dishes.
• Keeping track of inventory levels and communicating orders.
• Strictly applying HACCP and maintaining general cleanliness in the kitchen.
• Following instructions from the sous-chef or head chef and supporting colleagues to ensure smooth service.

What Defines You?
You’re more than a chef – you’re a team player, a craftsman, and a driving force in the kitchen. The following traits define you as a Chef de Partie:

• Quality-focused: You strive for perfection in taste, presentation, and finishing, whether it’s a steak, a canapé, or a bar snack.
• Flexible: You switch effortlessly between hot and cold stations and feel at home in various work settings (restaurant, events, bar, terrace).
• Team spirit: You enjoy working with colleagues, offer support where needed, and contribute to a positive atmosphere in the brigade.
• Stress-resistant: You stay calm, organized, and keep an overview during peak moments to always deliver top performance.

Who Are We Looking For?

• Preferably 2 years of experience in a professional kitchen, but we welcome talent with demonstrable skills.
• You work independently, methodically, and accurately.
• Available full-time (38h) or at least 4/5.
• Flexible availability in a rotating schedule (8h-16h / 10h-18h / 15h-23h), Monday to Sunday.
• Knowledge of food safety and hygiene procedures.
• Fluent in Dutch or English.

At Ghent Marriott, you’ll work in a warm and professional environment within an international network. We invest in your development and ensure a positive work experience.

You will receive, among other benefits:

• An attractive salary package
• Market-leading DKV hospitalization insurance
• Full reimbursement of public transportation costs
• Meal vouchers and eco vouchers
• A flexible work arrangement: we support a healthy work-life balance and adapt to each other’s needs. A non-traditional 9-to-5 schedule has its perks – pick up your kids, go to that Tuesday workout class, or enjoy your free time while others are working.
• Access to internal and external training
• Plenty of growth opportunities
• Exclusive hotel deals with staff discounts up to 50%
