Senior Sous Chef (Founding Role)
Long Point Brewing Co – Port Kennedy, WA

Long Point Brewing Co. is a bold new brewery-restaurant and function venue overlooking the Indian Ocean, located in the heart of the Kennedy Bay masterplanned community. We’re building something special — a venue with soul, great food and a view that’ll make your mates jealous.

Our 500-capacity gastro-brewpub will combine a state-of-the-art kitchen and brewhouse with a hospitality-first approach, delivering modern Australian food designed to pair seamlessly with our house-brewed beers and relaxed coastal atmosphere.

Think flame-kissed local seafood and meats, woodfired pizzas, fresh seasonal produce and chef-driven features that showcase WA’s paddocks and coast — all executed at scale, with quality and consistency at the forefront.

This is a Founding Senior Sous Chef role, offering the opportunity to help build the kitchen operation, systems and culture from day one. Working closely with the Head Chef, you’ll play a critical leadership role in service delivery, team development and maintaining high standards across all facets of the business.
