Commis Chef
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Queenstown, New Zealand · Full-Time · $28 - $29/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Two Commis Chef positions are open at a hotel bar and restaurant in Queenstown, New Zealand, where the menu leans towards rustic, filling dishes and drinks. Both are permanent contracts of 30 hours a week. In the kitchen you will cook and present breakfasts, conference catering and more, as part of a close, supportive brigade. The roster includes late nights, weekends and public holidays, so flexibility matters.
Visa sponsorship could potentially be offered by the employer to the right candidate.
Commis roles reward a tidy, honest CV. Show the kitchens where you have worked, the sections you have covered, your diploma or the years of experience you can point to, and any food handling certificate. A short line about working well in a tight team helps too. When it reads cleanly, assemble a commis CV with Build AI CV and keep a copy ready for each application.
