About Providoor

Providoor is revolutionising premium meal delivery in Australia, scaling rapidly from startup to category leader working with the biggest chefs in the world delivering frozen meals to their door.

We move fast, think big, and reward performance. Our leadership team comes from top-tier hospitality and tech backgrounds, and we're building a culture where ambition meets execution. If you're ready to work harder than ever before, see inefficiency as opportunity, and want your efforts to directly translate into company growth and personal career acceleration, this is your chance to become a key architect of Australia's next great food success story.About the Role

We're seeking a driven Senior Sous Chef ready to step up into a Head Chef role within a high-performing production kitchen environment. This position is ideal for a chef with strong technical skills, proven leadership ability, and a passion for operational excellence.

You'll work closely with the General Manager and some of Australia's leading chefs, ensuring quality, efficiency, and consistency across all menu items. This role offers the chance to contribute directly to the growth and success of a fast-moving business built on quality, teamwork, and precision.

Key Responsibilities

·      Lead day-to-day kitchen operations to deliver consistent, high-quality production across all product lines.

·      Work hand-in-hand with the General Manager to align kitchen output, costing, labour planning, and process improvement with overall business goals.

·      Develop and refine recipes and menus in collaboration with senior chefs to ensure flavour consistency, portion accuracy, and efficient scalability.

·      Oversee production schedules, workflow, and team performance to meet daily and weekly targets.

·      Maintain strict compliance with HACCP and Food Safety Standards, including documentation, audits, and staff training.

·      Manage stock levels, supplier relationships, and raw material ordering to minimise waste and optimise cost.

·      Train, mentor, and motivate a small, dedicated kitchen team — fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

·      Collaborate with management on new product development, seasonal updates, and large-scale production projects.

Skills & Experience

·      Proven background as a Senior Sous Chef or Production Kitchen Supervisor in a high-volume or premium food environment.

·      Strong knowledge of menu and recipe development with a practical understanding of cost control and scaling.

·      Comprehensive understanding of HACCP, Food Safety, and compliance requirements.

·      Demonstrated ability to lead, organise, and motivate small teams in a structured, fast-paced kitchen.

·      Confident working with targets, batch production schedules, and KPI-driven systems.

·      Excellent communication and collaboration skills — especially in working with management to improve operations.

·      Passion for producing high-quality, consistent food at scale.

Why Join Us

·      Monday to Friday — day shifts only for genuine work-life balance.

·      Collaborate with Australia's top chefs and a highly engaged General Manager.

·      Be part of a fast-growing, quality-driven production kitchen with modern equipment and processes.

·      Clear pathway to develop into a senior leadership role within the business.
