Sous Chef – Banquet Kitchen

Located in the heart of Cairns City, the iconic Pullman Cairns International offers impressive waterfront and mountain views from its 324 rooms. With 13 conference spaces complementing its extensive room count, the hotel stands as one of the largest in the region. The hotel’s stunning three-story lobby, adorned with marble flooring and dazzling glass chandeliers, epitomises the exceptional experience for which the Pullman brand is renowned.

Nestled beneath the towering feature windows, Coco’s Kitchen + Bar celebrates the tropical environment with an exceptional array of local fish and seafood, emphasising high-quality, regionally sourced produce. Executive Chef Simon Capewell and his team are the masterminds behind these mouth-watering dishes. With over 25 years of experience, Simon’s passion for diverse cultures shines through in his creations.

As a leader of our esteemed culinary team, you’ll express your passion for first-class cuisine and contribute to memorable dining experiences that keep guests coming back.
