Sous Chef – Assistant Kitchen Manager

Some restaurants call the role Assistant Kitchen Manager, others call it Sous Chef – but the point is the same: you are the right hand of the Kitchen Manager. Together, you share the responsibility for the kitchen and its daily operations: quality, routines, staff, and flow.

At Egon Gulskogen, you’ll be part of a team that works every day to give our guests a complete experience – from the first greeting to the last bite. We believe in teamwork, solid routines, and creating room for growth.

Your responsibilities

• Oversee daily kitchen operations together with the Kitchen Manager
• Ensure food quality, presentation, and pace of service
• Maintain HACCP/IK-Mat standards, cleaning, and food safety routines
• Cost control: ordering, stock counts, waste reduction, and raw material utilization
• Assist with scheduling and staffing when needed
• Training, motivating, and following up with team members
• Mise en place, production (sauces/dressings), receiving deliveries, and à la carte cooking during service

Who are you?

• Experienced as a Sous Chef/Assistant Kitchen Manager, or a strong line cook ready for the next step
• Structured, solution-oriented, and confident in HACCP/food safety routines
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment while keeping calm and positive
• A team player who enjoys developing others – and yourself
• Comfortable communicating in English; Norwegian is a big advantage

What we offer

• A varied and dynamic workday in a supportive environment
• Opportunities for responsibility and development – both in the kitchen and within the Egon chain
• Clear systems, good routines, and support from experienced colleagues
• Competitive terms and flexibility around working hours where possible

Egon is a chain in continuous growth – and new opportunities often open up for those who want bigger challenges.
