About the Role
Sultan Ahmet Turkish Cuisine is hiring a Meat Cutter & Prep Specialist who understands the art of trimming, cleaning, and preparing meat for high-quality Adana, Shish, and Doner.

Trim and clean meats (beef, lamb, chicken) by hand, removing sinew, silver skin, tendons, nerves, and unwanted tissue with minimal meat loss
Cube meat for skewers with precision and consistency
Assess meat quality upon delivery — including animal age, sex, fat content, and grading — and reject substandard shipments
Follow exact marination and recipe procedures for Doner, Adana, and Shish with zero deviation
Monitor meat safety — understand how long meat can remain outside, when to chill or discard
Prepare daily portions to spec and support high-volume kitchen production
Maintain hygiene, cleanliness, and FIFO rotation for all meat storage

Qualifications
2+ years in a commercial kitchen, preferably in meat prep (not just slicing or grinding)
Deep understanding of meat structure and anatomy
Skilled at minimizing waste while maximizing yield
Able to follow strict prep and marination instructions with no shortcuts
Reliable, detail-oriented, and efficient under pressure
Experience with Turkish or Mediterranean cuisine is a bonus
