About Suzy's

Suzy's is one of Perth's most exciting recent venues — a modern Italian-inspired restaurant and bar perched at the water's edge in Hillarys Boat Harbour. We're a venue built around beautifully presented share plates, handmade pizzas, fresh pasta, quality drinks, and a genuine atmosphere, the kind of place where people come to relax, linger over a meal, and leave already planning their next visit.

We hold ourselves to a high standard across everything we do, and that runs from the front door all the way through to the kitchen. We haven't even opened yet and the anticipation has already exceeded our expectations, we can't wait to get started.

The Role

We're looking for a Sous Chef who brings both technical ability and the right attitude to the table. This is a hands-on leadership role working closely with the Head Chef to maintain the quality and consistency our guests expect, while helping to shape a kitchen culture that reflects the broader Suzy's experience.

Day to day, you'll be across prep and service, leading the team through busy periods, managing the pan section, and contributing to the execution of our share plate and pasta-focused menu. When the Head Chef is away, you'll run the kitchen with confidence. Beyond the cooking, you'll play a real part in setting the standard, for the food, for the team, and for the energy in the kitchen.

What We're Looking For

We're after someone with solid experience at Sous Chef level, or a Senior Chef de Partie who is ready to step up.



You should be comfortable working in a high-volume environment while keeping a close eye on presentation and detail — our food needs to look as good as it tastes. A background in Italian cuisine, pizza, or the pan section is a bonus, but we're open to strong candidates from any culinary background.

Personality matters here just as much as what's on your CV. Suzy's has built a strong and loyal community before we'd even opened our doors, and we take that seriously. We need someone who understands the role they play in upholding that reputation — not just through the food, but through the culture they help create in the kitchen. We want someone who communicates well, leads by example, and genuinely cares about the people they work alongside. A positive attitude and strong work ethic go a long way at Suzy's. Full working rights in Australia are required.

Why Suzy's?

This is a rare opportunity to join a new venue at the very beginning and help build something from the ground up. You'll be part of a tight-knit team in a stunning location, doing food and hospitality we're genuinely proud of — with real room to grow as the venue evolves. If you want to be part of something from the start and put your stamp on it, this is the role for you.

How to Apply

Send through your resume along with a short note about yourself and your experience. We're just as interested in who you are as what's on your CV.

Suzy's is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds.
