Chef de Partie

Chef De Partie Position

Carried by heritage. Crafted by people.

In 1837, Hôtel du Nord opened its doors as Trondheim's first hotel — a place where meals, conversations and hospitality stood at the centre. When Villa Nord opens at Dronningens gate 26 in 2026, we carry that story forward, with a clear eye on what comes next.

About Villa Nord

Villa Nord will be Trondheim's first boutique hotel, with 51 individually curated rooms, a restaurant, wine bar, café and intimate meeting spaces. The hotel is rooted in the city's history, yet designed for the modern traveller seeking stillness, quality and authentic experiences.

Villa Nord is not a traditional hotel. It is a place shaped by history, people and quiet precision.

Our gastronomy reflects the same: local produce. Seasonal menus. Precision without rigidity. Meals that invite guests to linger a little longer.

Villa Nord is owned by Villa Nord AS, wholly owned by Hoff Hotels AS (Realinvest AS).

We are now looking for a Chef de Partie who will bring skill, consistency and care to the kitchen at Villa Nord — with respect for the craft, the ingredients and the people around them.

This is a role for someone who takes pride in the details, understands their station deeply and contributes to something larger than the plate in front of them.

About the Role

As Chef de Partie, you own your section with confidence and precision. You work as part of a close-knit kitchen brigade, executing Villa Nord's culinary vision to a consistently high standard across all service periods.

You are reliable, technically strong and take genuine pride in your work. You support those above and below you, and you understand that a great kitchen runs on trust as much as talent.

You will work closely with the Sous Chef and Culinary Head Chef to deliver seamless service and uphold the quality and identity of Villa Nord at every pass.

Your Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of your designated section, ensuring consistent quality at every service
• Execute seasonal, produce-led dishes with precision and care
• Maintain mise en place to the highest standard, with efficiency and foresight
• Support and mentor Commis Chefs within your section
• Uphold food safety, hygiene and sustainability standards at all times
• Contribute positively to the kitchen culture — with professionalism, calm and respect
• Participate actively in the ongoing development of Villa Nord's culinary identity

We Are Looking for Someone Who

You have solid hands-on experience and a clear sense of what good food looks and tastes like. Equally important: you show up with consistency and care.

We believe you:

• Have experience from quality-driven restaurants, hotels or similar environments
• Take pride in your section and work with focus and attention to detail
• Respect the craft, the produce and the people you work alongside
• Are calm and reliable during service, and supportive outside of it
• Want to grow within a team that values skill and character equally
• Have a genuine interest in sustainability, seasonal cooking and local producers

Why Villa Nord

With us, you get to be part of building something from the very beginning. Not a standardised concept — but a place with soul, room for expertise and genuine ambition.

With us, you will find:

• A meaningful role in a unique boutique hotel with a distinct culinary identity
• The chance to work with seasonal, locally sourced produce in a craft-focused kitchen
• A team culture built on trust, respect and shared standards
• Close collaboration with experienced leadership who invest in their people
• A working environment where quality always comes before quantity

Villa Nord is a place where every detail matters and every person contributes. If this resonates, we would love to hear from you.

We review applications on a rolling basis. All enquiries are treated in strict confidence.
