Assistant Kitchen Manager – Egon Nordstrand

Some restaurants call the role Assistant Kitchen Manager, others call it Sous Chef – but the point is the same: you are the right hand of the Kitchen Manager. Together, you share the responsibility for the kitchen and its daily operations: quality, routines, staff, and flow.

At Egon Nordstrand, you’ll be part of a team that works every day to give our guests a complete experience. We believe in teamwork, solid routines, and creating room for growth.
