About the Role

Charter Diligence is seeking an experienced and reliable Canteen Manager to oversee the day-to-day operation of a workplace canteen at a busy government transport facility in Woden, Canberra.

You will manage the full canteen service, from preparing fresh meals and coordinating stock purchases to processing customer transactions and maintaining high food safety standards.
