Located in the heart of picturesque Queenstown this 4-star hotel offers stunning views of Lake Wakatipu and is just a stones throw from all the action and adventure that Queenstown has to offer. We are looking for an enthusiastic Chef de Partie to join a small closeknit team.

The role
The hotel has a restaurant open daily for buffet breakfast and a cafe offering a small menu showcasing local favourites. As a CDP you will be working alongside the Head Chef across either breakfast or dinner preparing delicious well-cooked meals for the guests. As the hotel has 85 rooms and apartments you will be required to work alone at time. Some keys responsibilities will be:
  • Prep work for evenings
  • Taking charge of the breakfast shift
  • Checking stock levels
  • Maintaining a calm demeanour and clear communication

Who are you?
While this isn't an entry level role it is also not a senior position so we are flexible in the amount of experience you will have in a commercial kitchen, 6 months to 2 years would be perfect! You'll need to know your way around cooking equipment and have enough confidence in your abilities to run a breakfast (buffet) shift sole charge. Perhaps you're re-entering the work force or wanting to move up from a Commis Chef position, we'll consider most options! To be considered for this role you must:
  • Reside in New Zealand and hold a valid work visa - no sponsorships or VOC's
