An exciting prospect is available for an experienced Executive Chef / Head Chef to take

the culinary lead of a major new Italian restaurant and bar opening in Gregory Hills, Sydney.

This is not a standard Head Chef position.

We are creating a large-scale, premium Italian dining destination inspired by the coastal

restaurants of Positano and the Amalfi Coast — refined yet generous, vibrant,

produce-driven and centred around exceptional Italian food and live-fire cooking.

This is a significant hospitality project with substantial investment behind it, a purpose-built

kitchen, premium equipment and an ownership team committed to creating something

special.

We are looking for a chef with the experience, creativity and commercial understanding to

join during the pre-opening phase and help build the culinary operation from the ground up.

We are specifically looking for someone with serious, proven experience.

You will ideally have:




Robust Executive Chef or Head Chef experience
Robust knowledge of fresh pasta and pizza dough production
Experience with wood-fire, flame or charcoal cooking
Strong knowledge of seafood, proteins and premium produce
Experience within premium, high-volume and/or fine-dining restaurants
Strong commercial understanding of food costing and kitchen profitability
Proven ability to recruit, train and lead a high-performing brigade
Excellent organisational and leadership skills
Confidence managing a large-scale kitchen and demanding service
The ability to balance creativity with commercial execution and consistency

Pre-opening experience will be highly regarded.

If Italian food is your craft and you have the experience, leadership and ambition to build something exceptional,
