About EVT:
Rydges Kalgoorlie is part of EVT, one of Australasia's market-leading experience creators offering careers that can take you wherever you want to go across entertainment, ventures, and travel. In a world of cookie cutter experiences, here at EVT we believe in changing the game. It's why we all call ourselves Daymakers – because each day is a chance to add the wow factor for our customers and continually grow in our own careers.
Proudly owned and operated in Australia and New Zealand, Rydges offers refreshingly local stays in city, regional and resort-style hotels. We're not just in the neighbourhood, we're part of it. Every hotel is designed for ease, connection and quality. From check-in to check-out, our local heroes bring a can‐do attitude and "too easy" service. Whether it's for work or a well‐earned break, our place feels like home with the charm of somewhere new. Join us to help make every moment memorable.
EVT has an endless range of roles and careers paths to explore across over 140 entertainment experiences like Event Cinemas and Moonlight Cinemas, 150 award winning restaurants and bars, and 80+ hotels, including QT, Rydges, Atura, LyLo, Independent Collection and Australia's most loved year round alpine resort, Thredbo. Our ventures include a ~$2.3B property portfolio and hotel management, just to name a few. Once you're in, there's no limits on where your career could take you.
Key Responsibilities:
Own the day-to-day running of all kitchen sections, ensuring every dish leaving the pass meets EVT's quality and consistency standards
Approve all prepared food items before service and enforce standard recipes and production specs across every outlet
Maintain food safety, hygiene, and OH&S; compliance across all storage,



prep, and service areas
Inspect equipment, supplies, and work areas regularly for cleanliness and functionality
Roster and staff all kitchen sections to match service demand, adjusting quickly when volumes shift
Hire, train, and supervise chefs, cooks, and kitchen hands; delegate clearly to chefs of lower grade
Build a kitchen team that works productively and harmoniously, addressing underperformance early and celebrating wins
Liaise daily with chefs, the F&B; Manager, and outlet supervisors to keep restaurant and banquet service running smoothly
Deliver kitchen food and labour costs in line with budget
Control consumption of operating supplies and monitor stock rotation across all storage facilities
Track and report against financial targets, adjusting rosters and ordering to protect margin

Stay current on menu trends and evolving recipes, bringing fresh ideas back into the kitchen
Represent the kitchen professionally across all departments and in scheduled management meetings
What You'll Bring:
Proven experience as an Executive Chef in a multi-outlet hotel, resort, or high-volume F&B; environment
A track record of hitting food and labour cost budgets, not just producing great food
Hands‐on people leadership - you've hired, trained, rostered,



and managed a diverse kitchen brigade, and you deal with underperformance directly rather than avoiding it
Deep working knowledge of food safety, hygiene, and OH&S; requirements, and the discipline to enforce them daily
Strong stakeholder skills - you can work across F&B;, front-of-house, and management without friction
A trade qualification in commercial cookery (or equivalent) and current food safety certification
Genuine curiosity about menu trends and a habit of bringing new ideas into your kitchen rather than running the same menu on repeat
The composure to run a high‐pressure service while keeping your team calm, on task, and working as one unit
