Hospitality · Brisbane, QLD, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
This Chef position sits in a Brisbane restaurant that cooks traditional Italian and Roman food, with fresh pasta made by hand and produce chosen with care. The kitchen team is experienced, and the working week is organised around scheduled lunch and dinner services.
You would prepare classic dishes with proven technique, hold the same quality and presentation on every plate and finish your prep before service begins. A calm, tidy working style under pressure matters, as does a real interest in Italian cooking and in learning from the cooks beside you. The restaurant wants a Qualified Chef with a culinary qualification or trade certificate and a background in a quality-focused restaurant or hotel.
Lead your CV with your qualification, the kitchens you have cooked in and the classical dishes you make best. If layout is the sticking point, turn your chef experience into a clear CV with Build AI CV before you apply.
