Careers

esca was born from a simple belief: that hospitality can be something extraordinary. Our founders Ibby and Jorge didn't set out to run restaurants, they set out to redefine what dining in Australia could feel like and create places people would never forget.

That warmth and curiosity runs through everything we do, and everyone we welcome into the team. If you care deeply about your craft and want to be part of something with real heart and ambition, we'd love to meet you.

culture

people first. always.

The esca experience starts long before a guest walks through the door, it starts with the people who show up every day with genuine care and creativity. Our teams are diverse, talented, and kind. We celebrate each other, look out for one another, and believe that a great workplace makes for great hospitality. There's a real sense of belonging here, and we don't take that lightly.

development

we grow together.

Your career at esca is yours to shape, and we're here to help you do it. Whether you're looking to step into leadership, deepen your craft, or explore a new corner of the industry, you'll have the support of experienced mentors and a team that genuinely wants to see you thrive. No one here is left to figure it out alone.

perks

the good stuff.

We want working at esca to feel as good as dining in one of our venues. You'll enjoy generous staff discounts across all of our venues, regular training and a personalised development plan that's built around you. You'll have access to experienced mentors who are genuinely invested in your growth, and when new opportunities and venues open up, our own people are always first in line. Most importantly, you'll be part of a team that celebrates you, not just your output.
