Full job description
About EVT: Rydges South Bank Brisbane is part of EVT, one of Australasia's market-leading experience creators offering careers that can take you wherever you want to go across entertainment, ventures, and travel. In a world of cookie cutter experiences, here at EVT we believe in changing the game. It's why we all call ourselves Daymakers - because each day is a chance to add the wow factor for our customers and continually grow in our own careers.
Proudly owned and operated in Australia and New Zealand, Rydges offers refreshingly local stays in city, regional and resort-style hotels. We're not just in the neighbourhood, we're part of it. Every hotel is designed for ease, connection and quality. From check-in to check-out, our local heroes bring a can-do attitude and "too easy" service. Whether it's for work or a well-earned break, our place feels like home with the charm of somewhere new. Join us to help make every moment memorable.
EVT has an endless range of roles and careers paths to explore across over 140 entertainment experiences like Event Cinemas and Moonlight Cinemas, 150 award winning restaurants and bars, and 80+ hotels, including QT, Rydges, Atura, LyLo, Independent Collection and Australia's most loved year round alpine resort, Thredbo. Our ventures include a ~$2.3B property portfolio and hotel management, just to name a few. Once you're in, there's no limits on where your career could take you.

Maintain a clean, organised and well-stocked section, minimising wastage and controlling costs.
Support the training and development of Apprentices and junior kitchen team members.
Communicate effectively with Front of House, Conference & Events, and other kitchen team members to ensure smooth service.
What You'll Bring
Trade qualification in commercial cookery, or working towards one, with relevant kitchen experience.

Good knowledge of food safety and hygiene standards.
Ability to work efficiently under pressure across a varied and sometimes fast-changing events calendar.
Strong attention to detail and pride in food quality and presentation.
A team player with a positive attitude and willingness to learn from senior chefs.
Flexibility to work a rotating roster, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends around the events calendar.
