Sous Chef

About Us

Beerfarm was founded in 2015 on a 1940s dairy farm in Metricup, in the Margaret River Region. Once an old dairy farm, we converted the hay shed into a tavern, built a brewery in the roundhouse and created a name for both a destination and a brewery that would serve straight-up beer and food. Australian-owned and stridently independent, it's been built on grit, determination and the desire to do better. We are more than just a purveyor of high-quality beer, ginger beer, and cider. Our unique taphouse in Metricup, WA, has become a go-to spot for both locals and travellers, serving 'paddock to plate' food experiences, and of course, great beer and good times. Plus, our new, cutting-edge production facility in Perth will be a game changer for the brand, as more fans discover our beers, ciders and more So in essence, we are a farm, a brewery, a hospitality venue. We are driven to learn and progress as a team, continue doing things a little left of centre and make sure to have fun along the way. 'Cultivating Good Times' is what we're all about and we're on the hunt for team members who want to come along for the ride

About This Role

We are on the lookout for the next Full Time Sous Chef to join our team at our Metricup venue (a WA Good Food Guide Top 25 Pub) and work closely with Kitchen Management and Front of House to deliver our seasonal menu and a consistent Beerfarm experience. Reporting to the Head Chef, you will:

• Working alongside the Head Chef to ensure their set standards are implemented, managed and maintained.
• Ensuring the quality and consistent delivery of seasonal food menus.
• Ensure consistency of food offering and portion controls are implemented and maintained.
• Lead by example by setting exemplary standards.
• Oversee the day to day service of the kitchen through peak times and help it run smoothly and efficiently.

The ideal roster for this role is Wednesday – Sunday as we are busiest towards the end of the week and the weekend, but luckily there are no crazy late nights expected; we generally finish up by 10pm at the latest.

About You

Having come from all walks of life and different corners of the world… some from beer, some from good times and some simply from our parents, we are unified in the belief of doing things differently, doing things right. If you're the right person to join us, you will have 8 years prior experience as a Sous Chef within a fast paced, high volume environment where you've used your good time management skills, excellent leadership and the ability to work under pressure. You'll also be:

• Live and breathe the Beerfarm Values of: Considered, Belonging, Pioneering and Genuine;
• Ability to display the highest levels of quality and consistency throughout the kitchen;
• Excellent leadership abilities, and a track record of achieving and delivering results;
• Experience in working with busy venues with a multi faceted offering;

We are looking for someone who is an Aussie Permanent Resident or Citizen as 482 sponsorship is off the menu at the moment. However you can be a local, or be ready to relocate to one of the most beautiful places to live in Australia (we know, we're biased). Most importantly, you'll be a bloody good person and an ambassador of the brand who deserves to join this exceptional team.

We're committed to improving the diversity of our teams and industry, so if you don't have the relevant experience but are part of a group that is under-represented in the hospitality industry we would love to hear from you.
