Pizza Chef

Hospitality · Melbourne, VIC, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
A Melbourne kitchen built around wood-fired cooking is looking for a Pizza Chef who can run the pizza section and also give the main kitchen a hand with prep and general chef work. Hand-stretching, oven control and consistency under pressure are the core skills.
The menu is produce-driven and progressive, and the employer is open to your ideas for new dishes and to you growing within the business. Sponsorship is available for the right candidate, subject to eligibility. A calm, reliable approach in busy service matters as much as technique, so the kitchen wants cooks with a work history that can be verified.
Chefs get noticed for specifics, so name the ovens you have worked with, the kitchens and services you have covered and your food safety training on your English CV. Try to build a Melbourne pizza chef CV through Build AI CV.
