About Us
Smithburg is an all-day based at the South Melbourne Market.

We take casual American-diner food seriously, and we hope you do too!
Why Smithburg?

— supportive, fun and positively challenging in equal measure
A venue with real energy
— South Melbourne Market is a special place to work, and Smithburg is one of its best spots
Room to grow
— we're a new and exciting concept with plenty of runway ahead

We're looking for a Sous Chef or Senior CDP who's ready to step up and take real ownership.

you'll fit right in here.

3+ years experience in a high-volume commercial kitchen
Currently leading shifts independently

A genuine love for American food and diners
Experience in burgers, casual dining or similar high-volume operations is a big plus
What You'll Be Doing
Helping to lead service and hold the standard on every single dish that leaves the pass
Driving a disciplined, high-quality prep schedule
Maintaining a food-protected and well-organised kitchen
Supporting the Head Chef in developing the team and upholding Smithburg's standards
Contributing to stocktakes, ordering and kitchen operations
