Why work at Lowe?

The Mudgee Community

Mudgee is an exciting regional community with a thriving wine, food & tourism industry, and close proximity to the Blue Mountains and other major Central Western towns like Orange. These fast growing regional industries ensure a youthful, diverse and welcoming community.

 

Flexible employment models

To ensure you can make the most of this regional lifestyle, at Lowe, we have introduced a number of steps to keep the welfare and work/life balance of our staff at the forefront. This includes our flexibility to employment models from full time, part time, casual or permanent, for talented & enthusiastic applicants. 

 

Thinking for the future

Our operations are based in regenerative and sustainable practices, to ensure the health and wellbeing of the land we call home, and the people we share it with. This starts with our organic & biodynamic principles, and continues daily as we introduce new initiatives such as wildlife sanctuary areas, native bush plantings and the use of reusable or biodegradable packaging.

No more double shifts

With majority of our operations happening during the day, we encourage a no double shift schedule (if that’s what you prefer). This allows a change of pace for our chefs and front of house by overturning the usual ‘hospitality hours’. 

 

Staff to customer ratios

In the cellar door we’ve taken the same principled processes to protect our staff & customer experience. Not only does our bookings only policy with capped numbers help ensure a standard of excellence in service delivery, it also allows our staff to feel adequately balanced to the customer ratios. 

 

On the job training

This emphasis on delivering exceptional customer experiences is one of the reasons we want to expand our team. So for those that have already invested in their training, we would love to welcome your knowledge & experience into our team. And for those who are looking to expand their expertise, we will happily train the right candidate.
