Head Chef / Sous Chef / Cook

Hospitality · Melbourne, VIC, Australia · Full-Time · $70,000 - $85,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
For chefs building a long-term career in Australia, this American-style restaurant south of Melbourne has a role at the top of the kitchen and a role just below it, Head Chef and Sous Chef / Cook.
The skill set is specific. The menu focuses on burgers, with a strong share of grill and fryer work, and the kitchen front-loads its preparation to absorb the pressure of peak trade. Leading or supporting a kitchen at this volume is valuable progression experience for a senior cook.
Both are full-time positions with an immediate start and Wednesday to Sunday shifts. Sponsorship is available for the right candidate.
A precise CV helps here, setting out each kitchen role in order, the volume you cooked for and the stations you managed. Develop a Melbourne grill and burger chef CV on Build AI CV to present that progression clearly.
