Sous Chef

Sous & Senior Sous Chefs | Sydney CBD | Up to $110K + Super

Sydney is sizzling, the silly season is coming, and some of the city's best kitchens are building their teams.

JRM Hospitality is currently partnering with a select group of leading Sydney hospitality operators to recruit several exceptional Sous Chefs and Senior Sous Chefs across the CBD.

These aren't generic kitchen vacancies. We're looking for accomplished restaurant chefs with refined cooking skills, strong leadership credentials and experience within premium, fast-paced environments.

The opportunities span established restaurants and exciting new openings, with kitchens delivering serious volume while maintaining a strong focus on quality, technique and consistency. Several of the roles have a strong focus on premium steaks, fire-led cooking, traditional french styles and contemporary Italian influences, making them particularly suited to chefs who combine technical ability with the confidence to lead busy services.

With salaries reaching $110K + super, these are excellent opportunities for experienced Sous Chefs looking to step into stronger kitchens, or Senior Sous Chefs ready to position themselves for their next move into Head Chef leadership.

The Role

* Lead from the front across prep and busy restaurant services, maintaining quality when the pressure is on.
* Support the Head Chef in driving standards, consistency and day-to-day kitchen performance.
* Mentor and develop junior chefs, helping create disciplined, positive and high-performing kitchen teams.
* Take ownership of sections, service execution and kitchen operations while remaining genuinely hands-on.

* Play an important role in new openings, established kitchens and venues entering their busiest trading periods.
