Executive Chef

From menu creation to quality and cost control, people development and self promotion, Lombardi's Executive Chef position is an exciting one for an engaged passionate foodie.

Previous experience with conferencing and events (five star), food control plans, recruitment and training, with an astute mind for business excellence are all requirements for the successful candidate.  

In charge of meal preparation, you coordinate the kitchen brigade and ensure that all activities are carried out to high standards. Working closely with the Restaurant & Bar Manager you drive excellence in all our meal periods, with constant innovation in our offering whilst celebrating our local produce. 

 “About nine months ago I was presented with an opportunity to take the helm of Lombardi as Executive Chef, a role that allowed me to re-join the five star hotel industry and to come back to an Accor property.  And I have loved every minute.  It’s transpired though that for personal reasons I will be transferring to Auckland and so I’m looking to leave Lombardi in great hands with my replacement. If you’re a fervent NZ foodie,  have multiple years’ experience at minimum as Sous Chef (or Exec), and the right to work in New Zealand – you should apply.”  Dhawal Modi, Executive Chef, Lombardi Restaurant, Hotel St Moritz, Queenstown.
