Julins Backyard Barbecue is seeking a cook for a permanent position at 75%.
Would you like to develop your skills in the kitchen while learning the craft behind authentic Texas barbecue? This could be the job for you.
Julins Backyard Barbecue opened in the fall of 2020 with a clear vision: to serve barbecue of the highest quality. Our inspiration comes from Austin, Texas, and since our start, we have built a restaurant and smokehouse where quality, craftsmanship, and guest experience are central.
Since 2022, our food truck has also been rolling out to events, festivals, markets, and catering assignments – spreading the aroma of authentic Texas BBQ far beyond the restaurant walls.
The heart of our operation is our smokehouse on Örsholmen. Here, we work every day with raw ingredients, fire, smoke, time, and temperature to create the barbecue we want to eat ourselves and serve our guests.
For us, our guests are our friends. When they walk through our doors, they should experience a complete offering of food, drinks, music, and service with a refined touch.
Texas barbecue – in Värmland.
We are now looking for you to become a long-term part of our kitchen team.
About the role
As a cook with us, you'll work with the entire process – from preparation and ingredient handling to cooking, service, and closing. You'll be part of an engaged team where quality, pace, and teamwork are essential.
An important part of the job is that you will learn to work with our smokers and develop within genuine Texas barbecue. We work with, among others, an offset smoker from Mill Scale and a J&R Oyler pit from Texas.
You don't need to be a pitmaster when you start with us. However, you need to be curious, willing to learn, and prepared to put in the work required to understand the craft.
The work includes, among other things:
Mise en place and preparations for service
Handling and preparation of various cuts of meat
Preparation of sauces, rubs, and sides
Cooking and plating
Work with and, after training, responsibility for our smokers
Cleaning, dishwashing, and other kitchen tasks
When needed, work at events, catering, and in our food truck, which is why a driver's license is a requirement
Who are we looking for?
We believe you have experience working in a kitchen, but for us, the right personality, attitude, and desire to develop are just as important.
You are unpretentious and understand that everyone in a good kitchen helps each other out. You are meticulous, keep your workspace organized, and can maintain focus even when the pace is high. You take responsibility for your tasks while also seeing what needs to be done for the team as a whole.
Above all, you are curious about barbecue and want to learn more.
Our kitchen is open to guests, which means you need to be comfortable with guest interaction and be able to respond to questions in a friendly and professional manner. In our kitchen, the kitchen and service teams work closely together – the team comes first.
And one important detail: you need to be a morning person. Some shifts start as early as 6:00 AM, partly because barbecue doesn't wait for the rest of the city to wake up.

If you like early mornings, high pace, quality ingredients, smoke, fire, and a kitchen where everyone pitches in – we'd love to hear from you.
