Back of House – Junior Sous Chef, Chef de Partie, Commis Chef and Kitchen Hand

Riva Rose Bay

NOW HIRING  ·  BACK OF HOUSE  ·  SRG HOSPITALITY  ·  ROSE BAY, SYDNEY

The kitchen is the heartbeat of Riva — and we’re building something worth cooking in.

Riva is SRG Hospitality’s newest waterfront dining destination in Rose Bay: a venue where energy, craft, and pride in food define every service. We’re putting together an opening kitchen team of genuine culinary professionals — chefs who care about what they plate, how they work, and what they’re building for their career.

SRG Hospitality runs 15 Sydney venues, with more openings ahead. Riva is the next chapter — and the BOH team here will be central to what makes it great.
