Full-Time | Monday to Friday | No Weekends | CBD Location

Margot Osteria is on the hunt for a Senior Sous Chef ready to step into a high-impact role in one of Sydney’s most vibrant kitchens. Located on Barrack Street, our 120-seat Italian osteria blends old-world soul with modern edge — featuring a flame-fired open Basque grill, handmade modern pasta, and a front-row open kitchen that’s the heartbeat of our dining room.

This is more than just a job — it’s a chance to be part of a restaurant that values creativity, energy, and genuine hospitality. We cook with fire, soul, and precision — and we’re building a team that does the same.

Designing and executing seasonal, produce-led menus that reflect bold Italian flavours with a modern twist

Mentoring and motivating junior chefs with hands-on training and leadership

Driving quality, efficiency, and pride in every dish that leaves the pass

Being a key part of our business — involved in decisions, not just orders

Skilled across grill, pasta, and larder sections — with a love for open flame cooking and Mediterranean flavours

Clear, direct, and confident in your leadership — a driver of high standards and great culture

Organised, reliable, and passionate about quality, from prep to plating

Hungry to grow, lead, and contribute to a high-performing team

Able to thrive in a fast-paced, open kitchen environment
