The Chef de Partie is responsible for managing an assigned kitchen section, preparing and cooking food to Novotel and Accor standards, maintaining consistent portion sizes and presentation, and supporting smooth service during busy periods. Candidates should have commercial kitchen experience, sound knowledge of food preparation, cooking methods, hygiene standards and food safety requirements. A relevant culinary qualification is preferred, along with good communication, teamwork, organisation and the ability to work under pressure. The successful candidate is expected to maintain a clean and safe workstation, minimise waste, follow recipes and procedures, assist with stock control, and contribute positively to the kitchen team. Flexibility to work mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays is generally required.
Novotel Sydney International Airport is part of Accor, a major global hospitality group operating hotels, resorts and serviced properties across numerous countries. The hotel is located near Sydney Airport in Wolli Creek, making it well suited to business travellers, airline guests, stopover visitors and local events.

As an Accor property, it typically provides structured operating procedures, international service standards and opportunities to develop within a broad hotel network. Employees may also access Accor’s training resources, staff benefits and career mobility programs, subject to local terms. The hotel’s kitchen team supports restaurant, bar, banquet and room-service operations, requiring strong coordination, consistency and attention to food safety.
Australia offers hospitality opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, cafés and catering businesses, particularly in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, tourism regions and remote resorts. Chef de Partie roles are commonly available for cooks with commercial experience and recognised food-safety knowledge. Australian workplaces are generally multicultural, professional and direct, with strong expectations around punctuality, workplace safety, equality and customer service. Lifestyle options range from busy city living to beaches, national parks and regional communities, although Sydney accommodation and transport can be expensive. Foreign applicants need a visa with work rights, such as a Working Holiday visa, employer-sponsored visa or another eligible temporary visa; requirements vary by nationality and occupation. Before relocating, candidates should confirm sponsorship, pay, penalty rates, tax, superannuation, accommodation and roster details. A local bank account, tax file number, appropriate health cover and reliable transport may also be useful.
