The Opportunity

This restaurant wants proven kitchen people for a fast-moving American-style menu south of Melbourne: a Head Chef who can run the kitchen and a Sous Chef / Cook who can hold the line beside them.

From the brief, the hiring manager is after burger, grill and fryer competence and a habit of doing serious prep before service, because the kitchen leans on that groundwork once the rush arrives. Both positions are full time, begin immediately and need you on Wednesday to Sunday shifts. Sponsorship is available to the right candidate.

To stand out, match your application to those exact duties. Name the grill and fryer stations you have worked, give examples of high-pressure services and state your availability plainly.

Your CV should lead with the kitchen title you hold now and the busiest venue you have cooked in. Tailor a Melbourne grill-and-fryer chef CV with Build AI CV before you apply.
