– Hawksmoor Chicago

Chicago is the historical powerhouse of American beef,
and when Hawksmoor found out about an actual powerhouse building, it felt like
fate. So, after years of dreaming, we’ve set out
eyes on coming to Chicago. And we’ve found
ourselves a home we cannot wait to settle into.

The LaSalle Street Cable Car Powerhouse is a beautiful,
designated landmark, initially opened in 1887, in the heyday of Chicago’s cable
car system. We intend to do it justice by restoring the original features to
their former glory and, at the same time, breathe new life into the space.

Reporting to the Restaurant Manager, we’re
looking for a brand-new Runner to join our team and open our second international
restaurant in Chicago.

Companies awards, for seven years in a row, as one of the top 100 companies to
work for in the UK and we endeavour to do the same in the US.

Key responsibilities of the role include:
• Working within the reservations team and
delivering excellent service and hospitality to the Hawksmoor standard.
