The posting

About Bonza

Bonza is a Dubai-based brand creating premium chocolate, pastries, gifts and floral arrangements, made in our own factory in Dubai Investments Park (DIP). We care about quality, creativity and beautiful presentation, and we're building a small, talented team to grow with us.

The role

We're looking for a skilled, hands-on Chocolatier who has fully mastered fillings and chocolate colouring. You'll produce Bonza's chocolates from scratch to a consistent luxury standard and help us create our signature and seasonal collections.

What you'll do

  • Temper chocolate by hand (tabling and seeding) and by machine, with consistent shine, snap and shelf life
  • Make all fillings from scratch: ganaches, pralinés, gianduja, caramels, nut pastes and fruit fillings, with stable emulsions, correct texture and good shelf life
  • Prepare your own coloured cocoa butters and decorate with airbrushing, hand painting, splatter, brushing and transfer sheets to a luxury standard
  • Produce moulded bonbons, pralines, enrobed and hand-dipped chocolates, truffles and bars
  • Create custom pieces for gift boxes, events and corporate orders
  • Help develop new seasonal collections (Ramadan, Eid, Valentine's, Mother's Day, corporate gifting)
  • Plan daily production, manage stock and reduce waste
  • Follow food safety and hygiene rules (HACCP and Dubai Municipality requirements) and keep the kitchen and equipment clean and well maintained

How to apply

A portfolio is required. Applications without photos of your work will not be considered.

Apply with your CV and attach at least 6 clear photos of chocolates you personally made (as images or one PDF). Please include:

  • Moulded bonbons showing your colouring and decoration work
  • Cross-sections of bonbons showing your fillings
  • Any showpieces or sculptures you have built (if you have them)

An Instagram link is welcome in addition to the attached photos, not instead of them.

Your work must be your own. Please only share work you personally made. If you worked in a team, tell us clearly what your role was.

Our hiring process:

  1. CV and portfolio review
  2. Short interview
  3. Practical trial: shortlisted candidates will complete a paid trial in our kitchen: hand-tempering chocolate, colouring cocoa butter, and preparing decorated moulded bonbons with two fillings made from scratch (one ganache and one praliné). Candidates applying for the higher salary band will also build a small showpiece.
  4. Final decision and offer

Requirements

Must have

  • 4+ years of professional experience as a chocolatier in a chocolate brand, hotel, patisserie or chocolate production
  • Full, independent mastery of fillings: ganaches, pralinés, gianduja, caramels and fruit fillings, made from scratch
  • Full, independent mastery of chocolate colouring: coloured cocoa butter, airbrushing, hand painting and transfer sheets
  • Expert tempering and moulding, with thin, even shells and a clean, glossy finish
  • A portfolio with clear photos of chocolates you personally made

Strong plus

  • Building chocolate showpieces and sculptures from scratch
  • Recipe development and costing
  • Experience leading or training a small team
  • Experience with chocolate equipment (tempering machines, enrobers, cooling tunnels)
  • A chocolate or culinary qualification (e.g. Callebaut, Valrhona or similar training)
  • A valid UAE food handler certificate / occupational health card

Also

  • Knowledge of HACCP and food safety
  • Organized, consistent and able to work at production volume and through peak seasons
  • Currently living in the UAE

Benefits

  • Monthly all-inclusive salary of AED 4,000 – 6,000, based on experience and skills
  • UAE employment visa and medical insurance
  • Annual leave in line with UAE labour law
  • A creative, growing brand where your work is seen and valued

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
