🐊 Chef — FIFO/BIBO Mining Camps, Top End & Far North Queensland

🍽 Opportunity Fourteen days in the Top End's mining communities, seven days back home — that's the trade Sodexo is offering a Chef willing to base out of Darwin and rotate through remote camps across the Northern Territory and Far North Queensland. It sits a level below Sodexo's Brisbane Head Chef posting in both title and pay, but the Territory posting carries its own pull for a chef who wants proper remote country rather than a regional Queensland village. 👨‍🍳 Role - Prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner services in a high-volume bulk-catering kitchen - Maintain food safety compliance across a shifting camp population - Work a BIBO/FIFO rotation departing Darwin into remote NT and Far North QLD sites - Support a lean kitchen team through fixed 14:7 rotations 🌎 ChefJobs Abroad Analysis This is a Chef-level, not Head Chef, role, and the $93,000–$98,000 band reflects that against Sodexo's Brisbane posting — but it's still solid money for a straightforward bulk-catering kitchen, and the Top End location means genuinely remote camps rather than commuter-distance regional sites. Darwin-based chefs, or those willing to fly in from further afield, get the same 14:7 roster and on-site meals and accommodation as the Queensland role, with the outback and Kakadu-adjacent country as the backdrop on days off. ⭐ ChefJobs Rating: 6.8/10 ✅ Best Fit - Chefs (Cert III/IV Commercial Cookery) with bulk or high-volume kitchen experience - Those wanting genuinely remote Top End/Far North QLD postings rather than commuter-distance camps - Chefs prioritising a guaranteed 14:7 roster and on-site accommodation over city hospitality hours - Darwin-based candidates, or those happy to fly/bus in for each swing - Chefs open to a casual-to-permanent pathway with a large national catering employer - Anyone building toward a Head Chef title who wants FIFO/BIBO camp experience first
