❄️ Chef de Partie – Club Med Hokkaido Winter Season, Japan

🍽 Opportunity Club Med is hiring a Chef de Partie for its Hokkaido resort for the winter season. This is an all-in, high-volume multinational kitchen, and the draw is the setting: a winter on Japan's northern island, with your accommodation and meals at the resort. Note the bar is high. Club Med sets 10 years' experience as a CDP or equivalent and a minimum age of 32 for this post, tied to Japanese work-permit eligibility. 👨‍🍳 Role You will run a section of a kitchen feeding an international guest base, with junior cooks looking to you. - Manage your kitchen section day to day and supervise junior staff - Order and control stock, including dry goods and butchery - Cook to Club Med recipes at high volume for a multinational clientele - Hold food safety standards and minimise waste - Work to a fixed-term seasonal contract subject to operational needs and visa approval 🌎 ChefJobs Abroad Analysis Club Med kitchens are about consistency at scale: recipes are standardised, covers are large, and guests come from everywhere. That is a different discipline from à la carte, and for the right person it is a good one, with structure, a team to lead and a career path inside a global group. Winter in Hokkaido means living at the resort through the snow season, so your days off are spent on the mountain's doorstep. This is a real step up for an experienced CDP who wants to lead a section in an international setting. It is not for early-career cooks, since the experience and age thresholds are firm. ✅ Best Fit - Seasoned CDPs with 10+ years in the role who are ready for a section of real size - Chefs who enjoy standardised recipes and high-volume service done well - Cooks who like working in multicultural teams - Anyone who wants a winter in Japan with accommodation sorted - Chefs comfortable supervising junior staff - Candidates who can meet Japan work-permit requirements
