Scandic Skärholmen & Scandic Kungens Kurva are located just south of downtown Stockholm, right next to the Nordic region’s fastest-growing business and shopping district. At both hotels, we work as one team, which is why we can offer our employees two exciting workplaces with plenty of variety and opportunities for growth! Are you driven by teamwork and eager to work in an exciting environment? Then you’re the person we’re looking for!

We are now looking for a Sous Chef (kitchen shift leader) for Scandic Skärholmen & Scandic Kungens Kurva.

At Scandic, everyone works together to create a world-class guest experience throughout the guest’s entire stay. As Sous Chef, you’ll work alongside the F&B Manager to motivate, drive, develop, and engage everyone on the team to take significant personal responsibility for improving work processes and service as the world around us changes. We’re convinced that it’s when you have the opportunity to grow and contribute all your expertise that we exceed our guests’ expectations—and we also have a lot of fun at work!

So bring your experience, your dedication, 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 Sous Chef entail?

In this role as Sous Chef, you’ll share responsibility with the F&B Manager for leading and participating in day-to-day operations to ensure a world-class guest experience through our food service across all outlets. This means that, together with the kitchen team, you’ll ensure a high level of service and a menu that meets guests’ needs. In this role, you’re expected to assist the F&B Manager with certain administrative tasks and to cover for them during their absence. You have a good understanding of ingredient costs, portion control, inventory management, and working to reduce food waste.

Who are you?

You embrace change and have the ability to lead others through it; you’re flexible and adept at finding solutions and building relationships. You possess an inspiring, hands-on leadership style; you’ll be available at various times and on different days, and you’ll maintain a holistic perspective in everything you do alongside the Head Chef. You recognize the value of collaboration, provide regular feedback, and have a communicative leadership style. You plan your time effectively for the tasks at hand and the events to be held, and you work purposefully toward both short- and long-term goals. As a Sous Chef with us, you are also courageous, humble, proactive, and embody Scandic’s values.

You have relevant training and several years of prior experience in the kitchen; perhaps you’ve worked as a chef and feel ready to take the next step in your career, or maybe you already have several years of experience as a Sous Chef. Experience leading others in a similar role is a plus. You have strong administrative skills, experience with HACCP and allergens/special dietary needs, as well as a genuine interest in leading and developing others, and you are fluent in both written and spoken Swedish and English.
