An established Melbourne hospitality business with a group of Italian restaurants needs an experienced Pizza Chef for its pizzeria. The employer wants a chef who can take ownership of the pizza section, from the first batch of dough to the final order, and who plans to stay with the business for the long term.
The position is full time with an immediate start. What the employer needs most is consistency: hand-stretched Italian-style pizza, cooked in a wood-fired oven, that looks and tastes right every time, including during the busiest services. Reliability, organisation and a real passion for Italian food complete the brief, and there is a route into senior or management roles. Sponsorship is available for the right candidates.
Employers hiring for a wood-fired kitchen want proof, so put it in writing: the styles of pizza you produce, the ovens you have worked and the volume your section handled.
