Chef de Partie for events & fine dining in Inner Copenhagen

Are you driven by precision, the season's best ingredients and the ambition to deliver gastronomy at a high level – without compromising work-life balance?

In our Hospitality & Rooftop kitchen at our client in central Copenhagen, we are looking for a technically strong Chef de Partie who wants to help create exclusive dining experiences. Here Danish smørrebrød tradition meets classic dishes with a modern twist and French fine dining in an ambitious gastronomic universe.

An extraordinary gastronomic workplace

Our Rooftop differs markedly from the traditional canteen. We operate high-end gastronomic concepts with a café, meeting and conference facilities, a food court and an exclusive fine dining restaurant on the top floor.

We work purposefully with local ingredients in season and let the rhythm of nature set the direction for our menus.

You will be part of an international team consisting of seven chefs, an assistant kitchen manager, a sous-chef, a pastry chef and four Chef de Partie. Together we create a daily life characterized by professional pride, mutual respect and high ambitions.

Your role as Chef de Partie

You will be responsible for your own station and become a central part of daily quality assurance. You work independently, but always as part of a strong team.

Your main tasks are to

• Prepare and plate dishes on your own station with high precision and consistent quality
• Actively contribute to menu development and taste tests
• Plan and coordinate operations together with the rest of the team
• Handle stock management and orders within your area of responsibility
• Comply with current hygiene and food safety regulations
• Step in across kitchens when needed

We work closely across all kitchen departments, and it is a natural part of the role that you are flexible and contribute where needed – e.g. during holidays, illness or busy periods. You will be hired with a primary association to Rooftop, but we succeed as one cohesive gastronomic unit.

Here you get real influence on the gastronomic expression and the opportunity to refine both your craft and your creativity in a kitchen where detail and the ingredients are central.

Who are you?

You have experience as Chef de Partie – or from a similar role in an ambitious kitchen – and are motivated by delivering quality every day. In addition, we imagine that you:

• Have a culinary education or solid practical experience
• Have strong technical skills and good understanding of ingredients
• Work in a structured way and take responsibility for both process and result
• Are creative in taste and presentation
• Have knowledge of food safety and hygiene requirements
• Thrive in an international and collaborative environment
• Understand and speak English

In addition, you thrive best in a kitchen where professionalism, responsibility and close collaboration are a natural part of daily life.

Ambitious gastronomy – with room for life alongside

With us you get the best of two worlds: a professional fine dining environment with high ambitions – and a structure that provides balance in daily life. You will have a permanent full-time position of 37 hours, where working hours are primarily Monday to Friday with planned shifts and predominantly weekends off.

Working hours

• Morning shifts from 07:00-15:00
• Day/evening shift 11:00-21:00 (2-3 evening events per week)

At the same time you will be part of a strong back-of-house in Compass Group with orderly conditions and good development opportunities.

We offer, among other things

• Good employment terms according to collective agreement with 11% employer pension, 10% voluntary savings scheme, health scheme and employee discounts
• Professional development and sparring in a professional organization

We are looking for the earliest possible start and hire when we have found the right match.
