Experienced Cocktail Bartender & Waitstaff

About the role

Transit Rooftop is a modern rooftop cocktail bar delivering sky-high views above Fed Square. We are looking for experienced Cocktail Bartenders and Waitstaff who take genuine pride in their work — people who show up ready, look after the guest, and make the team around them better.

Key responsibilities

Cocktail Bartenders:

• Prepare all drinks to exact recipe specifications — technique, measure, temperature, and presentation
• Engage every guest at the bar with genuine warmth and attention from first acknowledgement to farewell
• Apply RSA obligations confidently and consistently on every shift
• Manage the pace of the bar — table drink orders and walk-in trade simultaneously, without quality slipping
• Maintain your station in impeccable condition from opening to close
• Support the Barbacks proactively and treat them as an essential part of the team

Waitstaff:

• Deliver the full sequence of service to a consistently high standard, every shift
• Take orders accurately with full knowledge of the menu — food, beverage, allergens, and pairings
• Make genuine, informed recommendations rather than reading from a list
• Upsell naturally
• Maintain your section, table settings, and service station throughout service
• Support colleagues when they need it, without being asked

About you

• Genuine experience in a quality, busy restaurant or bar environment
• A real work ethic — you are reliable, well-presented, and ready for every shift
• Warmth with guests and professionalism with colleagues
• The ability to hold your standard when the service is at its most demanding
• A current RSA certificate, or the ability to obtain one before starting
• Full working rights in Australia
• Evening and weekend availability — late-night Friday & Saturday, 7-night venue and the roster reflects that

Benefits

• Award pay rates + weekend and public holiday penalties + tips
• Ongoing paid training and development programmes
• 25% staff discount on food & beverage
• Leadership that genuinely cares about the people working with them
• A clear pathway to senior roles for those who earn it
• A team culture built on mutual respect, high standards, and genuine hospitality
