This role requires strong culinary skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work collaboratively within a fast-paced kitchen environment to deliver exceptional dining experiences for our guests. THE STAGE IS SET The stage is set for something different. We don’t run conventional hotels; we build places with character and intent.

This is our backdrop. We’re on an exciting journey step on stage and play your part.

Knowledge of stock control and kitchen operational procedures. Basic culinary qualification or certificate from a Culinary Arts program preferred. Basic knowledge of Microsoft Office (Email, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) is an advantage. WHAT WE LOOK FOR We’re here to rethink what a modern lifestyle hotel can be. That takes pace, creativity, and people who enjoy working with purpose. If you’re comfortable with change, motivated by ideas, and focused on crafting meaningful guest experiences, you’ll do well here.
