  • Immersive work environment steps from the mountains – we take our core purpose of “Have Fun” very seriously.

Build Your Culinary Career with Gibbons

We're passionate about developing great chefs, not just filling positions.

For team members who demonstrate commitment, potential, and a desire to build a long-term career, we offer opportunities to earn your Red Seal certification while continuing to work and grow with us.

Our culinary development pathway includes:

  • Structured career progression from Prep Cook through to leadership roles.
  • Hands-on coaching from experienced chefs.
  • Support with apprenticeship and technical training.
  • Individual development planning and ongoing feedback.
  • Recognition for long-term commitment and successful completion of the program.

What You Bring to the Table

  • Proven experience in fast-paced, high-volume kitchens
  • Strong leadership and communication skills
  • Commitment to excellence in both food and teamwork
  • Calm under pressure and quick on your feet
  • Familiarity with tools like Bevspot, POS, and kitchen management systems
  • Red Seal certification (or equivalent) is a bonus — but not required
  • Passion for delivering bold flavors and a memorable guest experience

Your Days Will Look Like

  • Oversee daily kitchen operations across all services and events
  • Lead and mentor a high-performing culinary team
  • Develop seasonal, guest-focused menus using fresh, local ingredients
  • Maintain high standards in food safety, quality, and cleanliness
  • Manage food and labour budgets with an eye on both efficiency and excellence
  • Work cross-functionally with FOH and leadership teams to ensure smooth execution
  • Jump in on the line when needed—this is a hands-on leadership role

Ready to Take the Lead?

Apply now and help us keep the legend alive at Longhorn Saloon—where the food is bold, the vibe is louder, and the team is unstoppable.

At Gibbons Whistler, our core values—Encourage Trust, Have Fun, Show Kindness, Lead With Purpose, and Commitment to Excellence—guide everything we do.
