HEAD CHEF – WATERLINE RESTAURANT, HOBART WATERFRONT
Lead with Passion. Cook with Purpose. Make Your Mark.

Waterline Restaurant is looking for a dynamic and experienced Head Chef to guide our kitchen through the Tasmanian seasons – from the quieter, creative pace of winter to the high-energy, high-volume demands of Hobart's bustling summer.

This is more than a job – it's an opportunity to shape one of Hobart's most exciting waterfront venues. If you're passionate about Tasmanian produce, thrive under pressure, and know how to lead from the front, we'd love to hear from you.

What We're Looking For:

  • A hands-on Head Chef who thrives in both calm and chaos

  • Exceptional attention to detail and pride in your craft

  • A passion for local Tasmanian produce and seasonal cooking

  • Strong cost control skills and experience managing kitchen budgets

  • A team leader who can train, inspire, and keep standards high

  • Previous experience with functions and events is a strong advantage

  • Minimum 5 years' experience in a senior kitchen leadership role

  • Must currently live in Australia and have full work rights – sponsorship is not available

The Role:

  • Full kitchen leadership – menu creation, team development, ordering, and costing

  • Deliver fresh, produce-led seasonal menus with a strong Tasmanian focus

  • Confidently scale operations to handle busy summer trade

  • Maintain consistency and quality in high-volume service

  • Support and execute a variety of events and functions alongside regular service

  • Collaborate closely with the management team to align food and service

  • Build and lead a team culture that values hard work, respect, and creativity

If you're ready to lead a kitchen that's ready to stand out – and you're serious about delivering great food with integrity – we want to hear from you.

Apply now with your CV and a short cover letter outlining why this role is right for you.
