Kebab Chef

About the role

Don's Signature Kebab & Grill is a fast-casual Mediterranean grill located in the Clarke Quay precinct, serving charcoal-grilled kebabs, rotisserie meats, wraps and mezze to a mix of office lunchtime diners, tourists and evening crowds. We combine fast service with quality produce and aim for consistent flavours across high-volume shifts.

The Kebab Chef will lead the grill and rotisserie section, oversee daily prep and portioning, maintain marinade and spice profiles, and ensure food safety and plate quality during peak service.

This role is ideal for cooks with solid experience on skewers, rotisserie or charcoal grills who want stable full-time employment in a busy central location with opportunities to develop menu items and progress to senior kitchen roles within a small group.
