Assistant Restaurant Manager & Sommelier

About Henry Jones and Landscape Restaurant

Landscape Restaurant and Grill creates unforgettable dining experiences in the heart of Hobart’s Hunter Street waterfront precinct. Our love for the exquisite produce of our island home has inspired our goal: to constantly push the benchmark for premium dining in Tasmania. Adding to the unique quality of our dishes is the unrivalled environment in which they’re served – the historic walls of the IXL jam factory, surrounded by the iconic art of John Glover.

A feature of Landscape – the Asado Grill – is fired up daily with a selection of sherry, bourbon or port casks from the Tasmanian Cask Company. These seasoned timbers, which we char and smoke over, give a unique flavour to the dishes.

The wine list at Landscape is curated by our Sommelier, where we make sure that old world, new world and emerging niche wines are ever-present and always available.

That’s where you join this story, we are looking for our newest Assistant Restaurant Manager and Sommelier!

• Partner with the Venue Manager to support overall financial performance, including achieving budget goals and contributing to the continued success and growth of the Landscape Private Dining Room.

What you will bring to the role:

• Strong team development and coaching ability to deliver exceptional guest experience consistently.
• Well-versed in fine-dining protocols and the service expectations of a luxury hotel setting.
