Full Job Description

Crystalbrook Collection is preparing to open the doors to Crystalbrook Sam, our newest hotel in Adelaide and we are looking for an exceptional Head Chef to help define its culinary identity from the very beginning.

This is a rare opportunity to be part of a hotel opening journey, where your creativity, leadership and passion for locally inspired dining will directly influence the guest experience, the team culture and the reputation of one of Adelaide’s most exciting new hospitality destinations.

At Crystalbrook, we believe food should be thoughtful, generous and connected to place. We celebrate responsible luxury, local producers, bold ideas and memorable experiences that feel fresh, considered and full of personality.

Reporting to our Executive Chef, you will lead the daily kitchen operation with confidence, care and commercial focus. You will inspire a talented culinary team, champion quality and consistency, and bring energy to menu development, supplier relationships, kitchen culture and the overall dining experience.

The opportunity

In this role, you will:

Lead and develop a high-performing kitchen team with clarity, warmth and accountability
Bring creativity and confidence to menu design, seasonal planning and dining concepts
Champion South Australian produce, local partnerships and sustainable kitchen practices
Deliver exceptional food quality, presentation and consistency across the operation
Build a positive kitchen culture where collaboration, pride and growth are part of every service
Manage food costs, labour, compliance, stock control and kitchen systems with commercial discipline
Work closely with hotel leadership to create experiences that are memorable, meaningful and uniquely Crystalbrook

About you

You are an experienced culinary leader who brings calm authority, genuine creativity and a strong sense of ownership. You understand the pace and precision of hotel operations, but you also know how to bring heart, personality and storytelling to the plate.

You will bring:

Proven experience as a Head Chef, Senior Sous Chef or Executive Sous Chef within a quality hotel, restaurant or premium dining environment
Strong leadership capability with the ability to coach, inspire and retain great people
A genuine passion for local produce, seasonal menus and elevated guest experiences
Solid commercial awareness across food cost, rostering, ordering and kitchen performance
Confidence in pre-opening environments, new concepts or building structure from the ground up
A collaborative approach and the ability to work closely with Food and Beverage, Events, Front Office and Hotel Leadership teams
A commitment to safety, compliance, sustainability and responsible kitchen practices

Why Crystalbrook?

Crystalbrook Collection is an award-winning hotel development and management company, home to one of Australia’s newest portfolios of distinctive upscale hotels, restaurants and bars.

We do things differently. Driven by our mission to harness the spirit of wonder, we embrace responsible luxury with positivity, creativity and fun, delivering locally unique hospitality experiences for our community.

At Crystalbrook, differences are applauded. We are customer obsessed. We are collaborators. We are courageous. Most importantly, we create environments where people can do their best work, feel proud of what they contribute and be part of something with genuine momentum.

What you can expect

The opportunity to help shape a vibrant hotel opening in the heart of Adelaide
A leadership role with influence, visibility and creative scope
A supportive and experienced hotel and group leadership team
Career development across a growing hotel collection
A culture that values individuality, collaboration and fresh thinking
The chance to build something special from day one

Ready to lead the kitchen at Crystalbrook Sam?

If you are ready to bring your culinary leadership, creativity and energy to one of Adelaide’s most exciting new hotel openings, we would love to hear from you.

Join us and help create the first chapter of Crystalbrook Sam.
