Chef de Partie x2 | Italian-led Pub Kitchen | Inner West Sydney

$75,000 - $80,000 + super | Full time | Start ASAP

A well-known inner west Sydney pub is relaunching its kitchen under a new Head Chef, and we are looking for two Chefs de Partie to come in at the ground floor.

The concept is approachable Italian sitting alongside elevated pub classics. Wood fired pizza and share plates, a tight pasta section, fish and steaks off the grill, and the pub staples done properly. The venue is trading now and the kitchen is being renovated around the new menu, so you are coming in as it is being built rather than inheriting someone else's setup.

There is a genuine in-house approach here. Bread made on site, meat portioned in house, fresh fish battered to order.

The role

- 2 x Chef de Partie, full time, reporting to the Head Chef and supporting a newly promoted Sous Chef
- Running your own section across a 7 day operation, lunch and dinner
- Prep, section accountability and support on ordering and stock
- Training and supervising kitchenhands
- Holding standards on a menu built on fresh product and real technique

What we are looking for

- Solid CDP experience in a quality kitchen. Italian, contemporary Australian, bistro or high volume pub backgrounds all work




- Confidence running a section unsupervised through a busy service
- Someone who can teach as well as cook. Kitchenhand development sits with this role
- Wood fired oven, pasta or larder experience is a bonus, not a requirement
- Full unrestricted working rights in Australia. Sponsorship is not available for this role

What is on offer

- $75,000 to $80,000 plus super, depending on experience
- A new kitchen, a new menu, and a Head Chef building a team from scratch rather than managing an inherited one
- Real mentoring. The Sous Chef role has just been filled internally, which tells you how this kitchen treats progression
- An established, trading venue, so there is volume from day one rather than a slow build
