Lead the Kitchen. Shape the Culture. Own the Operation.
We're recruiting for an experienced Head Chef to lead a high-performing catering operation in Kalgoorlie, delivering exceptional dining experiences for 300–400 residents on an 8:6 roster.
This is more than a Head Chef role—it's an opportunity to take full ownership of the kitchen, lead an established team, influence the menu, and leave your mark on a growing business that values strong leadership.
The Opportunity
✔ $120,000 + Super(negotiable for the right candidate).
✔ 8:6 roster with genuine work-life balance.
✔ Lead a well-established operation in Kalgoorlie .
✔ Influence menus, culture, and kitchen performance.
✔ Join a business that backs its leaders and invests in quality.
The Role
As Head Chef, you'll lead every aspect of the kitchen operation while setting the benchmark for food quality, safety, and team performance.
You'll:
- Lead and mentor a team of chefs and utility staff across all service periods.
- Drive food quality, consistency, presentation, and innovative theme nights.
- Manage rostering, food costs, ordering, inventory, and kitchen efficiencies.
- Maintain outstanding HACCP, HSEQ, hygiene, and workplace safety standards.
- Build a positive, accountable kitchen culture focused on teamwork and continuous improvement.
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who:
- Has proven Head Chef or Senior Sous Chef leadership experience.
- Comes from a high-volume bulk catering, FIFO, DIDO, mining, or remote hospitality background.
- Leads with confidence, professionalism, and a genuine passion for developing people.
- Has strong commercial skills across food costing, rostering, stock control, and kitchen operations.
- Never compromises on food quality, consistency, hygiene, or safety.
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn't a kitchen where you're expected to simply keep things running.
You'll have the autonomy to improve systems, develop your team, influence menu direction, and create an operation you're genuinely proud of—all while being supported by a management team that values initiative over bureaucracy.
Essential Requirements
- Australian working rights.
- Current Australian Driver's Licence.
- National Police Clearance (or willingness to obtain).
- Food Safety Supervisor Certificate.
- Experience leading kitchen teams.
- FIFO/DIDO experience highly regarded.
- Strong knowledge of HACCP and HSEQ standards.
