We’re looking for experienced Camp Chefs who take genuine pride in the food they put on the plate.

This is an approx. 100-person remote camp in WA where food quality matters.

It’s not a large production kitchen and it’s not bulk catering.
You’ll have plenty of ownership over your kitchen and the food you produce, working within agreed menus and site expectations while still having room to use your experience and judgement.

The site operates across both day and night services, with separate chefs covering the different shifts, so you won’t be responsible for the entire operation on your own.

You will, however, need to be comfortable running your kitchen independently for much of your shift.

Utility staff will assist around busy service periods, kitchen hand duties, clean-down and mess operations.

The Role
Depending on your allocated shift, the food operation will include:

- Buffet breakfast service
- Crib and takeaway preparation
- Dinner service incorporating plated and chef-served buffet options
- Menu preparation and day-to-day planning
- Stock management and maintaining food quality
- Food safety and HACCP standards
- Maintaining a clean, organised and professional kitchen
- Working closely with the Camp Manager and wider site team

For us, the biggest thing is the standard of food.
We’re looking for chefs who have the practical experience required for remote camp work but still bring the care, presentation and cooking standards you’d expect from a quality pub, restaurant or hotel kitchen.

About You
You’ll need recent small-camp experience and be comfortable working with a high level of autonomy.
Ideally, you’ll have:





- At least 6 months of small-camp experience within the last 18 months
- Experience working independently or as the primary chef on shift
- Robust experience across multiple sections of a kitchen
- A background in quality pubs, restaurants or hotels in addition to your camp experience
- Strong food safety and HACCP knowledge
- Full Australian Working Rights
- A reliable, adaptable and safety-conscious approach
- Genuine pride in the quality of food you produce

Previous experience helping mobilise or open a new remote camp will be highly regarded. A current driver’s licence is desirable but not essential.

What’s On Offer

- $44.00 per hour base rate
- Additional applicable night, Saturday and Sunday penalties
- Superannuation
- Consistent ongoing 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off FIFO roster
- Flights from Perth provided
- Accommodation and meals supplied on site
- Your own room and bathroom
- Wi-Fi available
- Ongoing casual work with potential permanent opportunities in the future
- A smaller operation where you can take real ownership of your kitchen and the food you serve

Successful applicants must be willing to complete site-specific onboarding and compliance requirements, which may include a pre-employment medical, drug & alcohol screening and police check. Squad will assist with the required compliance process.

Squad Hospitality specialises in hospitality recruitment and remote-site staffing. We’re looking for chefs who are reliable, adaptable, safety conscious and genuinely care about serving great food.

If you’re an experienced Camp Chef who enjoys the independence of a smaller site and wants to produce food you’re proud of, we’d like to hear from you.
