Salary: £32,000–£34,000 per year
Full-time, 45 hour week
Hammerman’s is an independent restaurant in Aberdeen city centre, focused on modern Scottish food served in a relaxed small-plates format.
Our menu is built around fresh, quality ingredients, bold flavours and contemporary takes on Scottish produce and familiar dishes. The kitchen is designed to be creative, fast-moving and quality-focused, with a menu that gives the team the opportunity to work across a wide range of ingredients, techniques and styles.
We are now looking for an experienced Chef de Partie to join our kitchen team and help us continue to develop the food offering at Hammerman’s.

As Chef de Partie, you will:
- Take responsibility for your section during prep and service
- Prepare, cook and present dishes consistently to the required standard
- Work across different sections of the kitchen as required
