About the Role
Santini Bar & Grill is QT Perth's award-winning signature restaurant, serving modern Italian food from an open kitchen fired by wood-fire coals and grills. Think handmade pasta, fresh WA produce, and a menu that draws a crowd night after night.
We're looking for a Chef de Partie to run a section of this busy kitchen, working closely with our senior chefs to deliver consistent, high-quality food at pace. This role is perfect for a chef who wants to sharpen their craft in a high-profile, high-volume kitchen with a real point of difference.
Key Responsibilities
- Take ownership of an assigned section, preparing and cooking menu items to Santini's exacting standard during service.
- Maintain consistency, quality and presentation across dishes, working efficiently under the pressure of a busy service.
- Support the Sous Chef and Head Chef with mise en place, stock rotation, and daily kitchen preparation.
- Follow all food safety, hygiene, and WH&S procedures, including correct storage and labelling of stock.
- Maintain a clean, organised and well-stocked section, minimising wastage and controlling costs.
- Support the training and development of Demi Chefs, Apprentices and junior kitchen team members.
- Communicate effectively with Front of House and other kitchen team members to ensure smooth, well-timed service.
What You'll Bring
- Trade qualification in commercial cookery with proven experience working a section in a busy, high-quality kitchen.
- Experience in Italian or grill-style cookery is highly regarded, but not essential.
- Good knowledge of food safety and hygiene standards.
- Ability to work efficiently under pressure during a fast-paced, high-volume service.
- Strong attention to detail and pride in food quality and presentation.
- A team player with a positive attitude who can also guide and support junior chefs.
- Flexibility to work a rotating roster, including evenings, weekends and public holidays.
