This is where our next adventure begins.
We’re building the opening team for Shokunin, Hunter Street Hospitality’s newest Japanese dining destination at Hamer Hall, Melbourne.
Shokunin means craftsperson, a philosophy centred on dedication, mastery and the continual pursuit of better. Bringing together the relaxed spirit of a Japanese izakaya with the refined technique and personalised approach of kappo dining, Shokunin is a place for seriously good Japanese food, warm hospitality, great drinks and even better company.
Now, we’re looking for experienced hospitality professionals who want to bring that philosophy to life.
Join the Opening Team
An opening is a unique opportunity to help shape a venue from day one. We’re looking for people who care about their craft, understand great hospitality and thrive in a high-performing team.
Previous experience in quality restaurants, bars or premium hospitality environments will be highly regarded. For our Sommelier team, strong wine knowledge and experience are important, with sake knowledge or qualifications highly regarded.
