Job Description

About PPG Labs

PPG Labs is a Singapore-based meal-prep service. We prepare custom, macro-calculated meals for busy professionals and personal-training clients. Unlike conventional meal prep built around fixed portions, each client's meals are prepared to their individual nutrition targets rather than a fixed daily menu.

We are pre-launch. Our first cohort of clients is being onboarded now, and this role is part of building the kitchen operation from the ground up.

The Role

We are looking for a hands-on chef to join us for our twice-weekly cook cycle. This is a part-time role to start.

This is not a traditional restaurant role. You will work from recipes and production specifications we provide, cooking and portioning meals accurately for individual clients. Consistency, organisation, and precision matter just as much as taste

Wednesdays and Sundays only, approximately 10-hour shifts each day
S$18 per hour, paid weekly
Cloud kitchen location is not yet finalised. We will confirm this with you before your trial run, and it will be within Singapore

What You Will Be Doing

Preparing a rotating menu spanning Singaporean, Malay, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Indian, and Vietnamese dishes, alongside Western and Mediterranean dishes
Cooking, weighing, and portioning meals to client-specific specifications. This is precision production cooking, where consistency and accuracy matter as much as taste
Packing and labelling completed meals accurately and preparing them for scheduled dispatch
Maintaining food safety and hygiene standards throughout the shift
Working efficiently within a fixed shift window to meet our dispatch schedule

Physical Requirements

Standing for most of a 10-hour shift
Lifting supply boxes and kitchen equipment, up to around 15kg
Repetitive prep and portioning motion over the course of the shift

What We Are Looking For

Genuine hands-on commercial kitchen experience, ideally in a high-volume or production kitchen environment
Comfortable picking up new recipes and cuisines quickly, since the menu rotates across the cuisines above
Comfortable working with precise portioning and specifications rather than free-styling a dish
Holds a valid WSQ Food Safety certification, or is willing to obtain one before starting
Reliable and able to commit to both shifts every week, since our delivery schedule depends on it

You will not be expected to calculate client macros or design nutrition plans. Recipes, portions, and production specifications are provided by PPG Labs.

This Role Is a Good Fit If

You enjoy structured, repeatable production work rather than creative freestyling
You take pride in accuracy and consistency, batch after batch
You are comfortable following detailed specifications rather than improvising a dish

The Trial Run

Before any ongoing commitment, we will run a paid trial shift together, at the same S$18 per hour rate. Ahead of your trial, we'll share our recipe specifications and a short technique reference covering the specific methods used across the menu, so you're not walking in cold. It gives both sides a chance to assess the fit. You'll get a feel for the kitchen, the pace, and the production system, while we'll look at cooking quality, consistency, portioning accuracy, organisation, hygiene, and how comfortably you work from detailed specifications.

Where This Could Go

This starts as a twice-weekly part-time role while we build our client base. As volume grows, our intention is to expand the role into more working days and potentially a full-time position with CPF contributions and standard employment benefits. We can't promise when or if that transition will happen, so we want to be clear about that from the start.

Confidentiality

Our recipes, specifications, and client information are confidential. We ask that you don't share these outside of work.

Our Hiring Process

Apply: send your resume and a short note about your experience
A quick call: a short conversation about your background and the role, nothing formal
