We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Casual Commis Chef to join the team at the Peninsula Club in Dromana. If you’re all about good food, good people and a bit of controlled chaos — we’d like to hear from you.
You’ll work with a solid kitchen team who know how to get the job done, back each other, and still have a laugh when things get hectic. From prep to pass, it’s hands-on, fast-paced and never boring.
Located on Gibson Street, just one street back from the Dromana Pier, the Peninsula Club operates seven days a week from 9am. With an expanded TAB, outdoor decks, two bars and great staff, the Peninsula Club offers the ideal location for lunch with friends or family.

What You’ll Be Doing In The Kitchen
-
Cooking and prepping menu items to our high-quality standards
-
Jumping in to support senior chefs with prep, plating and service when things get busy
-
Keeping food safety and hygiene locked in at all times (non-negotiable)

Experience in a busy pub, bistro or high-volume kitchen

Solid understanding of basic cooking methods and how to execute a recipe properly
-

A Role That Keeps You Moving

Why Join PLG?
-
Real opportunities to learn, develop and move your career forward
-
Access to year-round wellbeing support, including Employee Assistance Program for you and your family
-
Free onsite parking (because nobody likes circling the car park after a long shift)
