🐑 FIFO Camp Chef – Cooma, NSW (Snowy Mountains)

🍽 Opportunity Sodexo is recruiting Chefs for a bus-in/bus-out camp kitchen near Cooma, gateway to the Snowy Mountains — Australia's own alpine country, a couple of hours from Thredbo and Perisher. The number that jumps off the page is the pay: $47.12 to $65.97 an hour on a 14-days-on, 7-days-off roster, well above what most commercial kitchens in Australia pay for Certificate III/IV-level cooking. 👨‍🍳 Role - Prepare high-volume meals for camp residents across breakfast, crib and dinner services - Maintain HACCP and food safety compliance in a bulk-catering kitchen - Work an 11-hour shift pattern across the 14-days-on roster - Operate independently in a remote, bus-in/bus-out camp setting 🌎 ChefJobs Abroad Analysis This is camp cooking, not resort cooking — the appeal isn't the view from the pass, it's the pay and the roster. At $47–66 an hour on a 14:7 swing, with on-site meals and accommodation covered, a chef here can bank serious money in the weeks they're on and still get a full week off every fortnight, with the Snowy Mountains region as an actual backyard for that time off rather than a commute. Worth noting: this is bulk/institutional cooking at volume, not à la carte — the trade-off to weigh against a resort kitchen job. ⭐ ChefJobs Rating: 7.9/10 ✅ Best Fit - Cert III/IV qualified chefs chasing the strongest hourly pay available in Australian camp catering right now - Cooks with bulk or high-volume catering experience who don't need à la carte variety to stay engaged - Anyone who wants a 14-days-on/7-off roster with real time off between swings - Chefs who want the Snowy Mountains as a home base for downtime without paying alpine-town rent - Candidates with full Australian working rights, ready to pass medical and drug & alcohol testing - Not a fit for chefs who want creative/menu-design input — this is standardised bulk-catering service
