Commis Chef
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Queenstown, New Zealand · Full-Time · $28 - $29/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Hearty, rustic food is the style at this Queenstown hotel bar and restaurant, which is hiring two Commis Chef cooks on permanent contracts of 30 hours a week. You would prepare, cook and plate a wide range of dishes, from breakfast to conference catering, as part of a close kitchen team.
Late nights, weekends and public holidays come with the job. The employer can potentially offer visa sponsorship for the right candidate. It is a good step for a UK commis who wants to swap a hotel kitchen at home for one in the mountains.
Note the sections you have worked, any food hygiene certificate and the breakfast or banqueting service you have covered. Line up a Queenstown hotel commis CV via Build AI CV to keep it short and clear.
