Executive Chef
Full-Time — Salary · $70,000 – $75,000 CAD / year (based on experience) · Upriver Landing · 9254 Nowell Street, Chilliwack BC.
About Upriver Landing
Upriver Landing is a new upscale casual farm-to-table restaurant opening in downtown Chilliwack, BC at 9254 Nowell Street. We are built around a simple idea: buy the best ingredients from the Fraser Valley, and then get out of their way.
Our menu celebrates what grows, swims, and grazes within 200 kilometers of our kitchen — BC salmon, Fraser Valley lamb, Chilliwack berries, locally made burrata. We cook with intention and serve with genuine warmth.
Our name says it all. Going upriver means moving against the easy current — toward something wilder, truer, and more nourishing. That spirit lives in every plate we send out, and in every person who is part of this team.
Job Type Full-Time, Permanent — Salaried Start Date
Immediately — this is a founding role Schedule Tuesday–Sunday. Evenings + weekends required. Weekend brunch included. Location
9254 Nowell Street, Downtown Chilliwack, BC — in-person only Reports To Owner / Operator
THE ROLE
This is a founding position. The Head Chef of Upriver Landing will build the kitchen from the ground up — hiring the team, developing the menu with the owner, establishing all kitchen systems, and setting the standard for everything that comes out of the pass.
This is not a role for someone looking for a job. This is a role for someone looking for a home.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
•
Lead all kitchen operations for 60-seat upscale casual service, Tuesday–Sunday, plus weekend brunch
•
Develop and refine the seasonal menu alongside the owner — farm-to-table, Fraser Valley-sourced
•
Hire, train, and mentor the full kitchen brigade (Sous Chef, Line Cooks, Prep Cooks, Kitchen Porters)
•
Build and maintain relationships with Fraser Valley suppliers (Driediger Farms, Rocky Ridge Farm, Pacific Wild Seafood, and others)
•
Own food cost and kitchen labour cost — target 28–32% food cost
•
Write weekly prep lists, order guides, and mise en place standards
•
Ensure full Fraser Health compliance at all times — HACCP logs, food safety, sanitation
•
Create and maintain the kitchen recipe book and staff training materials
•
Be the standard-bearer: cook with intention, taste constantly, take pride in every plate
