The role
Your workplace
Welcome to JetBrains, the name behind smart tools for software developers such as IntelliJ IDEA. In Amsterdam, you will find two beautiful locations: the headquarters in the modern Terrace Tower near the RAI, and a smaller location on Huidekoperstraat in the city center. Both locations are easily accessible by public transport and bicycle. Together with client JetBrains and Vermaat, you will work in an international, innovative environment where technology and hospitality come together. The atmosphere? Dynamic, creative, and professional - a place where you discover something new every day.
The concept revolves around high-quality corporate catering with a focus on quality and experience. We provide breakfast, snacks, lunch, and events upon request. Think of hot meals, a salad bar, soups, and pre-made sandwiches. You will work in a close-knit team of colleagues who know how to get things done and work together to ensure a welcoming total experience. In this international setting, flexibility is important, because every day is different - and that is exactly what makes it fun.
You are available Monday through Friday and work between 7:00 AM and 4:00 PM. We will coordinate the exact contents of your schedule based on the needs of the location and your availability.
Your role
As a sous chef at Jetbrains GS, Amsterdam, you support the head chef in the daily management of the kitchen team. We work with food concepts, which means you work within the established frameworks, but also have the freedom to showcase your own recipes. Every day, you challenge yourself to offer guests variety through creativity, attention to detail, and knowledge of different cuisines. You are continuously sharp on the quality of the dishes leaving the kitchen. You are also responsible for the administrative part of the kitchen. This way, you ensure that HACCP is complied with, orders are placed on time, and allergens are properly mapped.
Because you work as a sous chef within corporate catering, you know better than anyone what your guests most want to see on the menu. You speak to, see, and hear them!
As a sous chef, you play an important role in training and guiding the kitchen team, and you ensure good cooperation between the kitchen and service. Your passion for cooking and leadership skills help to make every shift a success and keep guest satisfaction high.
What we ask
- The kitchen is your domain. You know how to move here. You know how to collaborate with the head chef and the rest of the kitchen brigade;
- You have at least 3 years of experience in managing a kitchen brigade;
- You have good knowledge of allergies, dietary requirements, food trends, and preparation times, and you know how to use this knowledge cleverly in practice;
- You have knowledge of regulations regarding HACCP, occupational health and safety (Arbo), and safety;
- You know what is happening in the world of food and drink and love to translate developments and innovations into your kitchen;
- You prefer to work with a lot of freedom and your own input and ideas;
- You can provide a Certificate of Conduct (VOG) upon request.
Do the ingredients not quite suit you? At Vermaat, we welcome everyone and embrace our differences. Do you experience, for whatever reason, a distance to work? Through our Social Return page, our Job Coaches would love to get in touch with you.
