Slice and portion meats, cheeses, fruits, and vegetables while adhering to safe food handling and portioning standards.

Ensure all cold foods are prepared, stored, and served at proper temperatures; maintain accurate temperature and HACCP logs for cold storage units, production, and service.
Label, date, and rotate stock using FIFO (First-In, First-Out) principles; minimize food waste through proper storage and portion control.
Maintain cleanliness and sanitation of cold kitchen workstations, utensils, storage areas, and equipment; comply with WHMIS, HACCP, and company safety regulations.
Assist with catering events, special themed menus, hors d’oeuvres, and boxed lunches as directed by the Sous Chef or Chef.
Monitor and report inventory levels for cold kitchen supplies; assist with receiving, verifying, and organizing deliveries while ensuring proper storage practices.
Collaborate with other kitchen staff during peak service periods; support other food production or dish-up tasks as required.
Participate in safety meetings and toolbox talks; adhere to all workplace safety procedures and PPE requirements in a remote camp setting.
Maintain a positive and professional attitude while working in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.

Working Conditions:
