Wine-Savvy Restaurant Manager/ English and/or Scandinavian speakers

We Are Looking for a Wine-Savvy Restaurant Manager

In the middle of impressive fjords and hilltops at Helgeland, only 25 minutes from Mo i Rana, you will find Utskarpen - an internationally recognized and award-winning culinary destination. This wonderful place is unlike anything else, where farmers and chefs work side by side to create fantastic food and dining experiences.

Do you dream of working with top-quality ingredients, unique dining experiences, and a strong focus on details? We are in an exciting phase, relaunching and further developing our concept – and now we are looking for a skilled Restaurant Manager to join us from May 2024.

If you want to challenge yourself, and live side by side with both nature and animals, then “Til Elise – Fra Marius” might have the job for you.

Our team

We are a small team of passionate individuals who strive to make the best experience for our customers.

Owner and head chef Marius Martinsen has experience from several high-end Oslo restaurants, including Michelin restaurant Haga. He will always ensure the team aims for quality and unique experiences for our guests.

We have apprentices and colleagues in housekeeping, breakfast, service, and kitchen. Every part of our organization is equally important. Hence our team is dynamic and helps wherever needed.

Though we offer competitive compensation and benefits and all the other perks one would expect from an established company, we are not your typical company. Til Elise Fra Marius is a family-owned career-building company. A place to learn, grow, and be challenged. It’s a place where you can genuinely make an impact – and be recognized for it.

The Restaurant

Beautifully located right on the lakefront, this charming hotel offers one of Norway's top dining experiences. Our herbs, tomatoes and cucumbers are grown at our organic fields, and all products are selected and handpicked by Marius from local producers.

Selected days, the chef offers a 17-course menu, "from field to table," a rare and unique homemade gastronomic experience.

At "Til Elise – Fra Marius", we believe in one simple truth – that the world is better with great food.

About You

As our new Restaurant Manager, you will play a key role in developing our restaurant experience further. Your responsibilities will include:

• Further developing the wine cellar in collaboration with Marius and Elise.
• Creating wine pairings and non-alcoholic alternatives for the menu.
• Planning aperitifs, digestifs, and other beverages suited for fine dining.
• Training service staff and building a strong extra team.
• Handling administrative tasks such as cash register operations, inventory control, and cost management.
• Checking in and out overnight guests of the restaurant.

We are searching for someone who is passionate about hospitality, highly knowledgeable about wine, and eager to create memorable experiences for our guests. Formal education is not required, but solid wine expertise and a passion for quality are essential.

• Work schedule: 4 days per week, primarily evening service, with some daytime shifts.
• Start date: Ideally mid-May, no later than May 20, 2024.
• Duration: June to December 2025, with the possibility of extension and permanent employment.
• Conditions: Competitive salary and a full-time permanent position (100%).

Why move to Utskarpen?

It might seem like a big step moving to a small village like Utskarpen, even though it's only for a few years.

But if you do, we can guarantee a unique and unforgettable experience, with tons of space, cows and sheep as your next door neighbour, fishers by the lake and the cleanest air. Utskarpen is simply a unique place. Our vision is to be one of the top dining experiences in Scandinavia. This requires a top motivated and highly qualified team.

Why? Because our employees are the heart and soul of our company.

About the community

While living in a small place like Utskarpen, you will experience the environment and people around you as welcoming, energizing and fun. The community embraces diversity, and we are proud ambassadors of each other, our accomplishments and each other's ambitions. Recruiting a new colleague also means a new friend, a new perspective and more talent to our community.

Welcome to Elise and Marius

Both Elise and Marius are trained chefs, and passionate about delivering excellent products to our customers. Before we moved to Utskarpen and established "Til Elise Fra Marius" we both joined
"The Norwegian National Chef Team" and worked at culinary restaurants such as Kulinarisk Akademi, Restaurant Oro and Haga Restaurant, among others.

Now we are excited to welcome new members to our team.
