Noma is looking for a chef for the staff meals, a position with your own station and comfortable working hours

Become part of Noma’s kitchen and prepare staff meals for your fellow chefs. You’ll be trained in how we do things, corrected when you get things wrong, and formed into an indispensable part of a team that gives their all every day. In return, you’ll have your own station, comfortable working hours, and the confidence to run your own service your way.

The position is just as suitable for those who are just starting to prove themselves as a chef, as for those who are experienced and want real demands without the distractions of a full service kitchen.

The work

The staff meal is something absolutely central to our production, as it provides nourishment and energy for all the employees who give their best at Noma – with high nutritional value.

Practicality

Wednesday to Saturday is the busy period with two meals a day for the entire team, about 85 people. The breakfast is the same every day. The lunch is a new menu every day – yours to build up.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for the staff meals on a day-to-day basis. You report to the Head Chef at Noma. The kitchen management helps set the standard together with you, but it is you who maintains it at every service.

We expect you to

• Have at least 5 years of experience from professional kitchens

• Focus on taste and nutrition – not just on getting the food out

• Can maintain a consistent standard for breakfast and still offer something new for lunch every day

• Can follow someone else's standard without losing what makes you good at your job

• They are so organized and skilled that comfortable working hours never mean less diligence.

• Consider hosting as part of the job, not something separate from it

• Have an EU passport or a permanent work permit in Denmark

What you build

You are helping to build an internal recipe book that sets the standard for the staff meal at Noma. Once you’ve completed it, it will be the next step in the development of the restaurant, and it won’t start from scratch.
