Sous chef

Sous Chef | Barulho, Parnell

Love cooking over fire? At Barulho, we make everything from scratch, cook over charcoal, and create evolving menus around the best seasonal ingredients. Our food draws on Spanish and Latin American flavours, and we’re looking for an experienced sous chef to help shape what comes next.

We’re a small, owner-operated restaurant in lower Parnell. You’ll run your section confidently during service, help plan preparation around bookings, and work closely with a team that cares about great food and genuine hospitality. There’s room to contribute ideas to the menu and grow in the role.

What you’ll bring

• Proven experience in a similar kitchen role

• Strong organisational skills and a calm approach during busy services

• A genuine interest in charcoal cooking, new techniques, and seasonal produce

• The ability to support and motivate the kitchen team

• Care and attention to recipes, food safety, and our food control plan

What you’ll enjoy

• A friendly, close-knit team with opportunities to progress

• Full-time hours with some flexibility

• Sundays and Mondays off

• Staff meals and coffee

• A three-week Christmas break

• Free nearby parking after 5 pm

We’re open Tuesday to Friday for lunch and dinner, and Saturday for dinner. We’re looking for someone who is available to start soon, has the right to work in New Zealand, and can interview in person in Auckland.

Take a look at what we do: @barulho_nz. If this sounds like your kind of kitchen, we’d love to hear from you.
