With a diverse mix of daily catering, multiple F&B outlets, and high-volume events, this is a role that offers real variety and hands-on experience across a dynamic operation.

This is not a hotel environment – instead, you’ll be part of a multifaceted hospitality setting with a strong focus on corporate events, high-volume service, and multi-outlet operations.

Due to the nature of the client site, this position offers a range of shift patterns, with approximately 60% Monday-Friday daytime operations and 40% evening and weekend event work.

  • Assist in delivering high-volume corporate events and functions from set-up through to execution
  • Work across a variety of service styles including general catering, hospitality service, and large-scale events

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience in a supervisory or senior team member role within hospitality, catering, or events
  • Someone ready to take a step up into a broader operations-focused role
  • A strong interest in events, multi-site operations, and high-volume service
  • A hands-on, positive attitude with a willingness to learn and grow
  • Strong communication and organisational skills
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, varied environment and manage multiple priorities
