Commis Chef
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Queenstown, New Zealand · Full-Time · $28 - $29/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored
If you love working the pass in a busy kitchen, this could be a good next step, kabayan. A hotel bar and restaurant in Queenstown, New Zealand, is hiring two Commis Chefs on permanent contracts of 30 hours a week.
The menu is hearty and rustic. Your days would cover breakfast service, food for conferences, neat plating, and dishes for guests who need dairy-free or gluten-free cooking. You would also help keep HACCP standards and lend a hand with washing up when it gets busy.
Bring experience from a similar position and from an à la carte menu, together with an NZQCF Diploma or at least three years of relevant experience. You should be happy to work late nights, weekends and public holidays. The employer can potentially offer visa sponsorship for the right candidate.
A tidy English CV helps your kitchen experience shine, including any work at hotels or on cruise lines. Get your commis chef CV ready for Queenstown with Build AI CV before you send your application.
