This is your chance to be part of something new.

Mercure Brisbane Spring Hill has entered an exciting new chapter, and we’re looking for a passionate Sous Chef to join our kitchen team and be part of the journey.

Following an extensive transformation of the hotel, we’ve recently launched Parklands Social: NY Deli & Grill - our brand new signature restaurant and bar, inspired by the golden age of New York’s social clubs and brought to life with quality Queensland produce, bold flavours and a relaxed, welcoming approach to dining.

Now, we’re looking for a talented Sous Chef who is ready to make their mark.
