About this role
You'd be joining Rivo Restaurant at AC by Marriott Gold Coast during its pre-opening phase, working as a Commis Chef in a structured but formative kitchen environment. This part-time role involves core commis-level work—mise en place, food preparation for both hot and cold items, plating, and equipment operation under senior chef supervision—alongside the less common opportunity to help establish the restaurant's kitchen standards and routines from day one. You'll be embedded in a professional hotel kitchen with clear hierarchy and mentorship, working rotating shifts including evenings, weekends and public holidays.
The role suits someone with commercial kitchen experience or a relevant cookery qualification who is genuinely interested in developing their skills rather than just filling shifts. You'll need solid fundamentals in food prep and cooking, meticulous attention to hygiene and presentation, and the ability to stay organised and communicate clearly in a fast-paced service environment. A willingness to learn from more experienced chefs and a collaborative mindset matter as much as technical ability at this level.
Beyond the day-to-day kitchen work, you'd gain access to Marriott's global benefits—accommodation and dining perks worldwide, learning programs, and potential pathways into a large hospitality group. For someone early in a culinary career, being part of a pre-opening team at a branded hotel restaurant offers both structured training and the chance to shape how a new kitchen operates.
