Sous Chef – Rowlee Dining & Bar

Help Lead the Culinary Vision at Rowlee

Rowlee Wines is seeking an experienced and passionate Sous Chef to join the kitchen leadership team at Rowlee Dining & Bar — a destination for cool climate wine, seasonal food and elegant, regional hospitality.

Working closely with our Head Chef, you’ll play a key role in the creative and operational delivery of Rowlee’s food offering — across our à la carte restaurant, intimate private dining, premium weddings and events, and estate-wide activations.

This is an opportunity to shape and grow something special from the inside — within one of Orange’s most picturesque vineyard estates.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Supporting the Head Chef with all kitchen operations across daily service and events
  • Delivering high-quality, produce-driven food experiences with a strong seasonal focus
  • Overseeing prep, plating and service during lunch, dinner, weddings and functions
  • Contributing to menu development for our restaurant, private dining and bespoke events
  • Managing kitchen team members, training and mentoring junior staff
  • Ensuring food safety, cleanliness and efficient stock control
  • Collaborating with front-of-house, winemaking and events teams to ensure smooth service

We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience as a Sous Chef or Senior CDP in a high-quality kitchen
  • Confidence in both à la carte service and large-scale event catering
  • Strong leadership and communication skills
  • Calm, positive and organised under pressure
  • A passion for regional produce, seasonality, and elegant presentation
  • Understanding of kitchen systems and compliance
  • A desire to contribute to a team culture rooted in quality, sustainability and hospitality

Why This Role Is Special

  • Be part of a growing culinary destination in the Orange wine region
  • Work with premium produce, wines, and a passionate hospitality team
  • Beautiful lifestyle opportunity in a vineyard setting with strong community
  • Collaborate with a supportive and creative leadership team
  • Full-time role with stability, growth potential and future opportunities
