We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Casual Commis Chef to join the team at the Peninsula Club in Dromana. If you’re all about good food, good people and a bit of controlled chaos — we’d like to hear from you.
You’ll work with a solid kitchen team who know how to get the job done, back each other, and still have a laugh when things get hectic. From prep to pass, it’s hands-on, fast-paced and never boring.
Located on Gibson Street, just one street back from the Dromana Pier, the Peninsula Club operates seven days a week from 9am. With an expanded TAB, outdoor decks, two bars and great staff, the Peninsula Club offers the ideal location for lunch with friends or family.
Pegasus Leisure Group (PLG) operating as part of The Melbourne Racing Club (MRC) is proud to be recognised as a 2022, 2023 & 2024 Winner of The Australian Business Awards for Employer of Choice.
What You’ll Be Doing In The Kitchen
- Cooking and prepping menu items to our high-quality standards
- Jumping in to support senior chefs with prep, plating and service when things get busy
- Keeping food safety and hygiene locked in at all times (non-negotiable)
- Running your section during service and keeping things moving on the pass
- Keeping your station clean, organised and ready for the next wave of tickets
What We’re Looking For
- Cert III or IV in Commercial Cookery (or equivalent experience in the real world)
- Food Allergens and Do Food Safely Certificate
- Experience in a busy pub, bistro or high-volume kitchen
- Solid understanding of basic cooking methods and how to execute a recipe properly
- Willingness to work a rotating roster including nights, weekends and public holidays
A Role That Keeps You Moving
This is a fast-paced, hands-on hospitality leadership role. It may involve standing for long periods, moving stock, lifting boxes or kegs, and navigating stairs throughout the venue.
Why Join PLG?
- Real opportunities to learn, develop and move your career forward
- Access to year-round wellbeing support, including Employee Assistance Program for you and your family
- Free onsite parking (because nobody likes circling the car park after a long shift)
- Work with one of Victoria’s leading hospitality and entertainment groups
Pegasus Leisure Group values and embraces diversity and inclusion and we encourage all applicants to apply.
