Sous Chef – Pyro Pyro is looking for a talented and driven Sous Chef to join our team. The successful candidate will be a natural leader, friendly and personable, and passionate about all things food and drink. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced chef ready to take on a senior role in an amazing up-and-coming restaurant.

The Restaurant Founded by Yiannis Mexis, Pyro, meaning "setting things ablaze," is what we want to achieve in the industry and on the food scene.

You'll run the pass with confidence, step up to lead the kitchen in the Head Chef's absence, and play a key role in training and motivating the brigade. You'll help shape menus and specials, manage ordering, stock control and food costs, and ensure the kitchen consistently meets the highest standards of food safety, Health and Safety, and standard operating procedures. More importantly, we're looking for someone as passionate about food, hospitality and people as we are!
