Job description

Work with one of Australia’s most exciting wine programs.

Circl is looking for an experienced Waiter & Sommelierto join our team — someone with a genuine passion for wine, great service and the finer details.

In 2025, Circl was awarded Australia’s Wine List of the Year— an extraordinary achievement for a restaurant only in its second year. With an exceptional wine program, a cellar full of interesting discoveries and an impressive selection available by the glass, this is a pretty special place to deepen your wine knowledge.

We're looking for someone who already has a strong foundation in wine and wants to take it further. You'll work alongside an experienced team, be exposed to an exceptional range of wines and have plentiful opportunity to learn, taste and develop your confidence.

Key Responsibilities as a Sommelier

  • Working collaboratively with the Sommelier team, develop and update the wine list, ensuring it reflects the latest trends, premium producers, and CIRCL’s unique wine philosophy.
  • Provide expert advice to guests and staff on wine selections, pairing recommendations, and tasting notes to enhance the dining experience.
  • Lead wine service, including tableside presentation, decanting, and ensuring correct glassware and serving temperatures.
  • Conduct regular staff wine trainings, tastings, and ongoing education to ensure team knowledge and engagement.
  • Maintain and manage the wine cellar, including inventory control, stock rotation,and procurement, while ensuring optimal wine storage conditions.
  • Liaise with suppliers and winemakers, source new wines, and negotiate purchasing agreements.
  • Organize and host wine events, tastings, and dinners, acting as CIRCL’s ambassador for passionate wine storytelling and guest connection.
  • Monitor and report on wine sales, costs, and performance metrics for continuous improvement.
  • Assist with broader beverage programs including Champagne, spirits, and non-alcoholic options when required.
  • Extensive restaurant experience, with demonstrated ability to deliver high-touch service in a busy environment.
  • Ideally formal wine qualifications (e.g., WSET, CMS, ASI, or equivalent) and/or substantial industry experience preferred.
  • In-depth understanding of Australian and international wine regions, producers, vintage variation, and wine styles.
  • Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with ability to tailor advice to adiverse clientele.
  • Skilled in cellar management, cost control, and procurement.

What you’ll bring as a Section Waiter:

  • Experience in a quality restaurant or wine-led environment
  • A genuine passion for wine and a solid understanding of the basics
  • The confidence to talk wine with guests and make considered recommendations
  • A natural curiosity and enthusiasm to keep learning
  • Impeccable service standards, attention to detail and a warm personality

This is more than a waiting role.It’s an opportunity to become part of one of Melbourne’s most respected wine teams and build serious knowledge while working with some very good bottles.

If you're passionate about wine, love hospitality and want to work somewhere that takes both seriously — we'd love to meet you.
