At Camp Ripan, you have the opportunity to work in a unique environment, surrounded by the nature and culture that make our region so special. We value our employees and offer a workplace where you can grow and develop. You will become part of a close-knit team where collaboration, service and mutual respect are fundamental.
At the heart of Camp Ripan you find our restaurant, where we serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as larger events and gatherings. Our culinary inspiration comes from Kiruna's three cultures—Swedish, Sámi and Tornedalian—which are reflected throughout our entire operation. Camp Ripan's kitchen is one of Sweden's most climate-conscious kitchens, where we use modern technology and sustainable practices to minimise our environmental impact.
We are now looking for an engaged and driven Sous Chef who wants to become an important part of our kitchen team while enjoying the spectacular mountain environment, with the Northern Lights, Midnight Sun and fantastic outdoor activities right on your doorstep.
As Sous Chef, you will play a central role in the daily operation of the kitchen and be responsible for ensuring that service runs smoothly, with high quality, structure and strong cooperation between the kitchen and other departments. You lead by example, support and motivate your colleagues, and contribute to a positive, respectful and solution-oriented working environment.
Your responsibilities will also include ensuring quality, structure and food safety in the kitchen, as well as planning mise en place, monitoring stock levels and handling orders. Together with the Head Chef, you will work with food and labour costs, food waste and menu development. You will be an important link between the kitchen, Head Chef and service, solving problems that arise during service and actively contributing to the development of both the team and the operation.
We are looking for someone with a genuine passion for cooking and the profession, who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys working as part of a team. You have at least six years of experience in the restaurant industry, preferably including three years of culinary education and three years of professional experience in an à la carte restaurant. You are confident in your professional role, have good communication skills in Swedish and/or English, and enjoy taking responsibility. As a person, you are committed, humble and solution-oriented, with a genuine motivation to create great food and help a team perform at its best.
This is a full-time, permanent position (100%). Working hours vary according to the needs of the business and include both weekdays and weekends. Staff accommodation is available if needed.
Interviews will be conducted on an ongoing basis, and the position will be filled once we have found the right candidate.
We look forward to receiving your application!
