Head Chef
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Brisbane, QLD, Australia · Full-Time · $85,000 - $100,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Running a kitchen is one thing. Running it while the functions book fills up is another. A Brisbane hotel needs a Head Chef who handles both, taking charge as Kitchen Manager over bistro service, bar meals and a growing events trade.
The work goes from everyday service to big celebrations, sporting lunches and charity events. The hotel wants the food right every time and the numbers right too. If you have led a hotel or banqueting kitchen, in Mzansi or anywhere else, this one is worth your time. Sponsorship is available for the right candidate.
No fluff on the CV. List the kitchens you ran, the events you delivered and your certificates, plain and clear. knock together a hotel kitchen boss cv on Build AI CV and get your application in.
