Full Time
Senior Chef de Partie
About Us
Smithburg is an all-day based at the South Melbourne Market. We build our menu around fresh market produce and the creativity of our chefs — think smash burgers, lobster rolls, pancakes and margaritas, all served with passion, energy and a good time. We take casual American-diner food seriously, and we hope you do too!
Why Smithburg?
- Fresh produce, creative food — we're at a market, and we make the most of it
- A team culture that's genuinely great — supportive, fun and positively challenging in equal measure

About You
- 3+ years experience in a high-volume commercial kitchen
- Currently leading shifts independently
- A prep gun!
- A genuine love for American food and diners
- Experience in burgers, casual dining or similar high-volume operations is a big plus
What You'll Be Doing
