Scandic Oceanhamnen is located in the heart of the modern Oceanhamnen district, just a stone’s throw from downtown Helsingborg and with the Öresund right outside the door. The hotel has 184 rooms spread across 14 floors and is a natural gathering place for both hotel guests and Helsingborg residents.

Here, we work together to create truly great guest experiences—whether guests come to us for a hotel stay, dinner, a conference, or simply to enjoy the location and the view of the Öresund.

We are now looking for a chef for Scandic Oceanhamnen.

No matter why a guest comes to us, few things are as appreciated as a warm welcome, excellent service, and great food. As a chef, you’re an important part of the whole, and together with the rest of the hotel team, you’ll help create a world-class guest experience.

With us, you’ll take on responsibility and have a say in how things are done. We believe in people who dare to take initiative, find solutions, and help one another when needed. We’re constantly refining our work methods and our service, and we’re convinced that we’re at our best when everyone gets to contribute their expertise, experience, and personality.

And on top of that, we’re here to have fun at work!

Bring your experience, your passion, and your way of thinking to us, and help build a culture where we truly care—about each other, our guests, and our planet. Welcome to Scandic!

What does the role of chef entail?

As a chef with us, you play a key role in creating a truly great dining experience for our guests.

Your main responsibilities include planning, preparing, and cooking food with a focus on quality, flavor, and presentation. You’ll be involved in both prep work and service, and—together with your colleagues—you’ll ensure that we maintain a high and consistent standard of quality.

You’ll actively maintain order and hygiene, conduct self-inspections, and ensure proper handling of ingredients. We also expect you to think cost-consciously about ingredients, portion sizes, and food waste.

At Scandic, we work as a team. This means we help each other when needed and take joint responsibility for the guest’s overall experience—not just for our own workstation.

You’re a team player who takes responsibility for both your own tasks and the big picture. You are solution-oriented, flexible, and down-to-earth. It comes naturally to you to see what needs to be done and to help your colleagues when needed.

For this position, we expect you to:

• Have chef training or equivalent experience working in a professional kitchen.
• Have strong skills in cooking, handling ingredients, and food safety.
• Can work independently and take responsibility for your station and your tasks.

• Are meticulous and work in a structured manner, prioritizing organization, hygiene, and quality.
• Are flexible and available to work days, evenings, and weekends.
• Are a team player who is happy to help out where needed.
• Have a cost-conscious approach to ingredients, waste, and portioning.
• Understand that, as a chef, you are an important part of the guest’s overall experience.
• Brings dedication, energy, and a positive attitude to the team.

It is a plus if you:

• Have previous experience in a hotel, restaurant, or other business with high guest traffic.
• Have experience with à la carte, conferences/events, and breakfast.
• Have knowledge of special diets, allergens, and various dietary preferences.
• Are accustomed to working with self-monitoring and HACCP.

For us, your personal qualities and attitude are just as important as your resume. Above all, we are looking for someone who wants to grow, take responsibility, and contribute to the success of both the team and the hotel.
