About the Position
🍽 Opportunity
ISS is hiring an experienced Chef for a 2:1 FIFO roster out of Perth Airport, reporting to the Head Chef/Village Manager in a dynamic remote mining kitchen across Western Australia. Backed by a global facility management company operating in 46 countries, this is fast-paced, high-volume kitchen work balanced against a roster genuinely built for time off — 10-12 hour days on site, then real recovery time before the next swing.
👨🍳 Role / Responsibilities
Prepare and cook high-quality meals consistently and efficiently within a village kitchen operation
Support food safety, hygiene, and WHS standards alongside the kitchen team
Assist with stock management, ordering, and day-to-day kitchen operations
Collaborate with the Head Chef on menu execution and service improvements
Mentor junior kitchen staff and contribute to a positive team culture
Work a 2:1 FIFO roster from Perth Airport, reporting to the Head Chef/Village Manager
🌎 ChefJobs Abroad Analysis
A 2:1 roster is one of the more favourable splits in FIFO mining catering — more time off relative to time on site than the 14:7 pattern common elsewhere in the sector — which makes this a strong option for a chef who wants remote-site pay without giving up as much life outside of work. Reporting into a Head Chef/Village Manager also means built-in mentorship and a clearer path to progression within a genuinely global organisation, rather than running solo.
✅ Best Fit
Chefs with 2-3+ years' professional experience wanting a favourable FIFO roster split
Chefs with (or open to building) bulk/high-volume kitchen experience
Chefs based in or able to fly from Perth
Chefs who want structured mentorship, reporting to a Head Chef/Village Manager rather than running independently
Chefs comfortable with the physical demands of 10-12 hour shifts in remote conditions
Chefs who want a genuine global-employer career path with training and progression
Not a fit for: chefs seeking full creative/menu control — this is a team execution role, not a menu-design post
