Grow Your Career Where the River Meets the Menu
Sitting over the edge of the Mooloolah River, The Dock is the Sunshine Coast's take on casual done properly. Relaxed in atmosphere, uncompromising in quality. With a focus on fresh, coastal-inspired food and a kitchen that punches well above its weight, this is a place where chefs with drive and craft genuinely thrive.
We're looking for a Chef de Partie who is ready to step into a high-energy kitchen, take ownership of their section, and be part of something bigger than the daily service.
About Kickon Group
We are a growing hospitality group with a portfolio of iconic, award-winning venues across Queensland (Osbourne Hotel, Grand View Hotel, Collective Palm Beach, Watermark Townsville & The Beach Hotel) and Victoria(Doutta Galla, Union House, Terminus Hotel & Continental Sorrento). Our investment goes beyond bricks and mortar, we invest in our people through structured training, genuine career pathways, and a culture where performance is recognised and rewarded. Our purpose is simple: to connect people through exceptional hospitality.
The Role
As Chef de Partie at The Dock, you'll take full ownership of your section, maintaining consistency, quality, and pace through every service. You'll work closely alongside a Head Chef who leads from the front and invests in the people around them.
Beyond the daily service, you'll play a supporting role in a broader events program in collaboration with the Wharf Events team, giving you exposure to large-scale, high-profile events that will sharpen your skills and broaden your experience in ways a standard CDP role simply won't.
What You Bring
- Minimum two years' experience in a Chef de Partie or equivalent role.
- Proven ability to perform in a high-volume kitchen environment.
- Strong section management and mise en place discipline.
- A genuine passion for food quality and consistency.
- An eagerness to learn, contribute, and grow within a supportive team.
- Comfort working within a diverse, multicultural kitchen environment.
What We Offer
- Exposure to Wharf Events - large-scale event experience alongside your Head Chef.
- Genuine career progression within a growing multi-venue group.
- Access to accredited training and professional development programs.
- Mentorship from experienced industry leaders.
- Comprehensive staff benefits and partner programs.
- A section worth owning, in a venue worth being proud of.
