Sparrow is hiring experienced chefs to produce elevated cuisine for private aviation. Full-time and part-time PM opportunities are available, making this a strong fit for culinary professionals looking for either a consistent full-time position or part-time evening work.
You'll work as part of a small culinary team producing food for private aviation in an execution-driven kitchen where quality, accuracy, food safety, and timing matter. Sparrow combines the pace and precision of aviation catering with culinary experimentation and an emphasis on elevating in-flight cuisine toward fine-dining standards.
If you're an experienced Sous Chef or chef with a background in catering, banquets, events, or similar culinary production, we'd like to speak with you.
