InterContinental Hotels Group

Culinary Team (Pre-Opening) – Crowne Plaza Geelong

Be part of a landmark hotel opening in one of Victoria’s most exciting waterfront destinations!

In partnership with Plenary Group, IHG Hotels & Resorts is bringing the world-class Crowne Plaza brand to Geelong, opening in early 2026. As part of the new Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Exhibition Centre precinct, this 200-room hotel will offer premium accommodation, a restaurant and bar, pool, gym, and flexible meeting spaces; ideal for both business and leisure travellers.

Join Our Culinary Team

We’re building our pre-opening Culinary Team and are seeking passionate Kitchen Stewards (full-time, part-time, and casual) to bring creativity, teamwork, and energy to the heart of our hotel.

We will be starting our onboarding and training in December however, having Christmas and new year off!

A Taste of Your Day-to-Day

• Cleaning all kitchen dishes, utensils, equipment, and storage areas
• Work closely with team members and leaders to ensure smooth daily operations.
• Supporting the culinary team ensuring the kitchen is organised and maintained adhering to safety and to hygiene standards
• Maintaining a positive, respectful, and safe team culture.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience in a commercial kitchen; hotel experience a plus, but not essential.
• Pride in your work; from presentation to cleanliness.
• Flexibility to work a variety of shifts, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and public holidays.
• Current working rights in Australia.
