As a Live In Offshore Cook, one common challenge is adapting to limited kitchen resources and storage space while still delivering nutritious, varied meals for crew members.

Collaboration with the rest of the crew and clear communication with supply coordinators help ensure smooth operations and a positive onboard atmosphere.

What is a Live In Offshore Cook?

A Live In Offshore Cook is a culinary professional who lives and works on offshore installations such as oil rigs, ships, or remote platforms. Their primary responsibility is to prepare meals and maintain kitchen cleanliness for crew members who work in these isolated environments. The role often involves planning menus, ordering supplies, and accommodating dietary needs while adhering to strict health and safety guidelines. Because they live on-site for weeks at a time, they must adapt to a unique work schedule and challenging living conditions. This position requires both culinary skills and the ability to thrive in remote, team-based settings.

Job description


A family is seeking an experienced Live-In Housekeeper/Cook to become a long-term member of their household. This role combines executive-level housekeeping with simple, healthy meal preparation and requires someone who naturally takes ownership of the home without needing daily direction.

The family values professionalism, discretion, flexibility, and someone who quietly keeps the household running behind the scenes. They are looking for an individual who notices the little things, maintains exceptionally high housekeeping standards, and enjoys creating a calm, organized environment.

This is an exceptional long-term opportunity for someone who enjoys becoming a trusted part of a household, takes pride in creating a beautifully maintained home, and appreciates working for kind principals who value loyalty, trust, and consistency.
THE HOUSEHOLD
The principals reside primarily in Gulf Stream, Florida, spending September through May at their Florida residence before relocating to The Hamptons June through August each year. While the schedule generally follows this pattern, the family appreciates flexibility as travel dates may vary slightly from year to year.

The household is home to:
  • Husband and Wife

  • Older children who frequently visit during holidays and throughout the summer months


The Florida residence is just under 6,000 square feet, while the Hamptons home is approximately 9,000 square feet.

Household Support
  • Daily care and walks for the family's beloved dog

  • Assist with seasonal transitions between Florida and The Hamptons

  • Anticipate household needs before being asked

SCHEDULE & TRAVEL

Florida (Approximately September-May)
  • Generally begins around 8:00 AM

  • Four days per week while the family is traveling/not in residence

Hamptons (Approximately June-August)
  • Six days per week
  • Continue the same split-day schedule based on the family's needs
