Roshni by Raj in Mackay are seeking an experienced, driven Head Chef to take full leadership of a fast‑paced, high‑volume Modern‑ish Indian Fusion kitchen in one of North Queensland's busiest dining destinations. This is a hands‑on leadership role for a chef who thrives under pressure, leads from the front, and delivers consistency at scale.
This role suits a chef who wants stability, long‑term growth, and genuine influence over a large multi‑service operation including breakfast, lunch, dinner, functions, and catering.
