Fat Pomelo is a contemporary South East Asian restaurant built on bold, produce-driven cooking and genuine hospitality. We serve food that's vibrant, considered and true to the flavours of the region — and we've built a place people are proud to call their local. We're independent, and we build a restaurant to last, not to chase trends.

We're looking for a skilled Cook to join our kitchen and help us deliver exceptional food every service. For the right candidate, we're able to offer sponsorship under the Skills in Demand (subclass 482) visa.

Strong knowledge of South East Asian cuisine and ingredients
Solid section and service skills, with speed, consistency and attention to detail
A team-first attitude, reliability and a genuine passion for food

What you'll get in return
A competitive salary package based on your experience, $79,500 + super.
A kitchen where quality actually comes first — proper produce, real technique, no shortcuts
The chance to work across a genuinely interesting South East Asian menu, not a set list you'll be running for years
