EGON is coming to Narvik - and we are looking for an experienced, operational Head Chef to build and lead our kitchen from day one.
In fall 2026, EGON Narvik will open its doors at Thon Senter Narvik. This will be a brand-new restaurant in the heart of the city, offering everything from premium steaks and flavorful pasta dishes to fresh seafood, burgers, and our popular pizza buffet. Our ambition is to become the natural meeting place in Narvik - whether guests are shopping, meeting friends, enjoying a family dinner, celebrating special occasions, or picking up take away on the go.
We are now searching for the right Head Chef to build the kitchen team, establish strong routines, create a positive culture, and ensure excellent food quality and operations from the very beginning.
This is a unique opportunity to join EGON before opening and play a key role in shaping one of Narvik's newest restaurant destinations. As Head Chef, you will be the senior leader of the kitchen and have full responsibility for its daily operation, financial performance, and team development. This is a hands-on leadership role where you lead by example and work closely with your team to deliver outstanding guest experiences.
At EGON, we believe that great guest experiences start in the kitchen. We work with fresh, high-quality ingredients from trusted Norwegian suppliers. Sauces and dressings are prepared in-house using EGON's own recipes, and our kitchens play an important role in maintaining and developing the quality standards that have made EGON one of Norway's most successful restaurant concepts.
As a Head Chef at EGON, you become part of a large and ambitious organization with significant opportunities for professional and personal growth.
Throughout the year, EGON organizes national and regional leadership gatherings, concept training sessions, and workshops connected to new menu launches. These events focus on operational excellence, leadership development, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement. We also provide valuable opportunities to build relationships and exchange experiences with other leaders across the EGON organization.
Opening fall 2026 at Thon Senter Narvik, EGON Narvik will offer:
Located in the heart of Narvik, the restaurant will combine shopping and dining in one convenient destination and serve both local residents and visitors to the region.
Experience from larger restaurant concepts, hotels, or multi-unit operations is an advantage, but the most important factor is your ability to lead people, create structure, and deliver consistent results.
If you are motivated by responsibility, leadership, operational excellence, and the opportunity to help build something new, we would love to hear from you.
