The Sous Chef (Wok Chef) supports the Chef de Cuisine in managing daily kitchen operations, with particular responsibility for wok cooking and Chinese or Asian cuisine preparation. Requirements typically include culinary training, several years of professional kitchen experience, strong wok and food-production skills, and knowledge of food safety, hygiene, portion control, and kitchen cost management. The successful candidate is expected to lead and coach kitchen staff, maintain consistent taste and presentation, manage preparation during busy service periods, control waste, and follow Shangri-La’s quality and safety standards. Flexibility, teamwork, stamina, creativity, and the ability to work shifts, weekends, and holidays are essential.
Shangri-La is a major luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts, residences, and related businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and other international markets. Its properties are known for attentive service, high-quality dining, distinctive guest experiences, and strong emphasis on hospitality standards. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates well-known properties including Shangri-La The Fort in Bonifacio Global City and Shangri-La Mactan in Cebu. The company employs colleagues across culinary operations, food and beverage, rooms, wellness, engineering, and corporate services. A Sous Chef joining Shangri-La can expect a structured professional environment, multicultural teamwork, opportunities to develop leadership skills, and exposure to international luxury-hotel practices. Exact benefits and working conditions vary according to the property and employment contract.
The Philippines offers opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, cruise operations, tourism, healthcare, technology, and business services. Major employment centers include Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Clark, and Davao, while resort roles are common in coastal and island destinations. Filipino culture is generally warm, family-oriented, and community-minded, with English widely used in workplaces. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living to a more relaxed beach setting; transport, traffic, humidity, and seasonal rain are important considerations. Foreign workers normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly arranged with assistance from the hiring company. Local hires should confirm employment registration, accommodation, medical cover, and service-charge arrangements before accepting an offer. Relocating to an island may involve higher living costs, limited specialist services, and fewer transport options, but staff housing, meals, and resort benefits may reduce expenses.
