Executive Chef / Head Chef
An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced Executive Chef / Head Chef to take
the culinary lead of a major new Italian restaurant and bar opening in Gregory Hills, Sydney.
This is not a standard Head Chef position.
We are creating a large-scale, premium Italian dining destination inspired by the coastal
restaurants of Positano and the Amalfi Coast — refined yet generous, vibrant,
produce-driven and centred around exceptional Italian food and live-fire cooking.
This is a significant hospitality project with substantial investment behind it, a purpose-built
kitchen, premium equipment and an ownership team committed to creating something
special.
We are looking for a chef with the experience, creativity and commercial understanding to
join during the pre-opening phase and help build the culinary operation from the ground up.
We are specifically looking for someone with serious, proven experience.
You will ideally have:
- Strong Executive Chef or Head Chef experience
- Strong knowledge of fresh pasta and pizza dough production
- Experience with wood-fire, flame or charcoal cooking
- Strong knowledge of seafood, proteins and premium produce
- Experience within premium, high-volume and/or fine-dining restaurants
- Strong commercial understanding of food costing and kitchen profitability
- Proven ability to recruit, train and lead a high-performing brigade
- Excellent organisational and leadership skills
- Confidence managing a large-scale kitchen and demanding service
- The ability to balance creativity with commercial execution and consistency
Pre-opening experience will be highly regarded.
If Italian food is your craft and you have the experience, leadership and ambition to build something exceptional,
