Kitchen Manager

Does coordinating a complex banquet for 150 guests while managing a busy lunch rush make you sweat—or does it bring out your best?

The Gatineau Golf & Country Club is seeking a Kitchen Manager who takes food seriously, but not themselves too seriously. The ideal candidate can confidently lead a team of five in a positive, respectful kitchen environment —no Gordon Ramsay–style theatrics required.

The Finer Details:

• The Schedule: April to October. You work hard while the sun is out, and you have your winters to finally learn how to knit or travel somewhere tropical.


• The Vibe: We are open 12 PM to 9 PM. Sometimes there's an early or late event


• The Perks: A competitive salary, full benefits, and—the crown jewel—golf privileges. Work on your tan and your handicap at the same time.

If you are equally comfortable flipping a burger, braising a short rib, and organizing a banquet line—without missing a beat—we would like to talk to you. Professionalism is required, and a sense of humor is mandatory.
