Ting Irie, Dubai’s vibrant Caribbean restaurant known for its bold jerk flavours, island hospitality, and lively atmosphere, is looking for a skilled and passionate Line Cook to join its kitchen brigade. If you have a genuine love for Caribbean cuisine — or a strong foundation in grill, sauté, and high-volume kitchen work and are eager to master jerk cooking, curries, and island-style seafood — this is your chance to bring flavour and energy to one of Dubai’s most talked-about dining concepts.
About the Role
As a Line Cook at Ting Irie, you’ll work a designated station — grill, sauté, or prep — under the guidance of the Sous Chef and Head Chef, executing dishes to exact recipe and plating standards during busy lunch and dinner service. Caribbean cooking is all about bold, layered flavour and precise timing, from perfectly charred jerk chicken to slow-simmered curries and fresh seafood specials. You’ll be part of a tight-knit, high-energy kitchen team that takes real pride in representing authentic island cuisine to a diverse Dubai audience.

- Keep the station, equipment, and surrounding kitchen area clean and organized at all times
- Support special events, private dining, and catering orders as required
