We are seeking a sous-chef who will take responsibility for a kitchen by the sea

Not a support role. You are number two in the kitchen and have real influence on what happens — on the plate and in the team.

The place

Charlottenlund Fort was built in 1886 as a coastal defense north of Copenhagen. Today it is a restaurant with 180° views over Øresund, seating for 140 guests indoors. We do à la carte for daily guests and events up to high gastronomy — weddings, corporate parties, private events. The cuisine is French-Nordic and seasonal.

It is a destination. People actively come here. It gives a different atmosphere than a city restaurant — and a different pride in the workplace.

What you do

You work closely with the head chef and are responsible for the kitchen when he is not there. You keep an overview of daily production, events and the staff in the kitchen. You help develop menus and seasonal dishes, and you set the standard for quality and pace in daily operations.

We are looking for someone who

• Is a trained chef with solid experience from a serious kitchen
• Has experience leading and coordinating others in a busy kitchen
• Takes ownership — even on a difficult evening
• Communicates clearly and creates calm in the kitchen under pressure
• Has ambitions without it coming at the expense of the team
• Thrives with variation: events, à la carte, seasonal menus

What you don’t get

We do not promise Michelin dreams or "a place in a family". We offer a serious kitchen, an unusual workplace and a real leadership role. If you are ready to take responsibility and want to work somewhere that actually gives you something to work with, we would love to hear from you.
