Are you someone who truly enjoys hospitality? We have an opportunity for you to work with a likeminded team in Bright Victoria.

Reed & Co Distillery was started in 2016 by Hamish Nugent & Rachel Reed, who were both chefs and had owned/operated multiple restaurants before opening the distillery. At first, Reed & Co was all about gin, offering tasty drinks and food. But now, they're also making Australia's first real Shochu as well.

Koji Bird (Reed & Co Restaurant) makes food that is best consumed with beverages and good company. Koji Bird was created as a nod to an Izakaya, a casual Japanese eatery. It seemed fitting for a distillery as Izakaya loosely translates to ‘stay with alcohol’.

An open kitchen with a custom built wood fired oven and grill creates a nice ambience and delicious food. We produce our own koji in-house, and there is a strong focus on koji throughout the menu. But what is koji? Koji is a mould used in fermentation. It has been used in food preparation for thousands of years and is primarily known for its use in many traditional Japanese foods.

Our bar’s cocktail menu showcases Reed & Co gin, shochu, alternative spirits and the seasons, and we pride ourselves on creating a welcoming place, where everyone can feel relaxed.

If you think you are the perfect fit and would like to become a part of the team at Reed & Co Distillery, please apply now by emailing r (don't forget to attach your CV and cover letter).

Please note:

We are committed to reviewing all applications, however, will only reach out to candidates with relevant experience.
