Careers — Howard Smith Wharves

Our vision is to create a vibrant playground for lovers of the good life and that includes our team.

Located beneath the Story Bridge, our waterfront home boasts 13 restaurants, cafes, bars, event spaces and a hotel. Along with the multi-awarded Felons Brewery at our heart, we’re dedicated to raising the bar on hospitality and that requires a lot of people working together to bring it all to life.

We’re all about embracing new flavours and ideas, reflecting the city’s status as Queensland’s home of arts, culture and creativity, while still respecting and celebrating our heritage.

Sustainability is part of our DNA. We currently divert 94% of waste from landfill and actively pursue new sustainability initiatives to achieve a better future for us all.

Led by our founder Adam Flaskas and brought to life by our passionate team, we’ve built a precinct that celebrates Brisbane’s magnetic energy—harnessing it for all to enjoy, from day to night.

Here at HSW we play, we revel, we indulge and embrace life to its fullest. We are makers of epic experiences for our guests.

Come and have some fun with us at HSW, we’d love to work with you.
