Pizza Chef
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Melbourne, VIC, Australia · Full-Time · $65,000 - $70,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Hand-stretched dough, a wood-fired oven and a pizzeria that takes its Italian roots seriously. That is the setting for this Melbourne opening with an established hospitality business that runs several Italian restaurants in the city.
As Pizza Chef you would take charge of the pizza section when service is at its busiest, look after dough preparation and fermentation, and turn out Italian-style pizzas that are cooked and presented the same way every time. The role is full-time with an immediate start, and there is scope to grow into a senior or management position over the long term. The ideal person is dependable, well organised, mad about Italian food and relaxed in a packed restaurant. Sponsorship is available for the right candidates.
