Pizza Chef
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Melbourne, VIC, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
A wood-fired oven sits at the heart of this Melbourne kitchen, and the Pizza Chef who runs it needs real skill: stretching dough by hand, reading the fire and turning out the same quality pizza all night. The menu is produce-driven, and the team welcomes ideas for new dishes.
You will not stay only on the pizza section. Between services you will help with prep and general chef work in the main kitchen, and you will handle setup, changeovers and close-down. Bangladeshi cooks with busy oven-station experience will know this rhythm. Sponsorship is available for the right candidate, subject to eligibility.
On your CV, mention the ovens you have cooked on, your dough work and how busy your kitchens were. You can fire up a wood-oven pizza chef CV with Build AI CV and keep it ready.
