Chef / Cook
Hospitality · Parkes, Canberra ACT, Australia · Full-Time · $80,000/yr
A professional hospitality employer in the Australian Capital Territory is recruiting 2 Chefs/Cooks. Every applicant's qualifications, technical skills and practical experience need to be clearly demonstrable and open to verification.
The brigade is compact and experienced, turning out modern Australian and European cuisine at a reliably high standard. Expect a genuinely hands-on role: you will cover different areas of the kitchen and run a designated section with confidence when service is on.
What this employer prioritises is real skill, checked experience and capability proven at work, rather than sponsorship on its own. For chefs currently in Dubai, Doha or Riyadh, it is a considered career step.
Key Responsibilities
- Produce modern Australian and European dishes at a high standard, sticking to the kitchen's recipes, methods and standards
- Own a designated station through each service, and lend a hand to other stations as operations require
- Work through the day's prep with speed and precision
- Hold portion control, plating and food quality steady from dish to dish
- Pull together with the rest of a four-person kitchen team so that busy evening, weekend and split-shift services stay efficient and smooth
- Keep an eye on stock and ingredients to limit wastage
- Meet requirements for workplace safety, cleanliness and food hygiene
- Perform dependably and hands-on in a professional kitchen setting
Requirements & Eligibility
- Certificate III in Commercial Cookery or higher, held as your relevant trade qualification in Commercial Cookery
- Minimum 2 years of professional experience in modern Australian or European cuisine, part of it in a fine-dining or quality-focused commercial kitchen
- Chef de Partie or section-level experience is highly regarded
- Versatile cooking and prep ability, and the confidence to look after an allocated kitchen section on your own
- A track record of holding food quality while keeping wastage in check
