Vacant job

When you leave land and step aboard, you become part of a flavorful adventure. Here awaits a workplace filled with collaboration, activity, and a sea of opportunities.

Aboard, you work side by side with like-minded chefs at a fast pace. Our guests are offered various concepts depending on which ship they travel on; we offer, among other things, buffets, à la carte, simpler cold meals, and coffee breaks.

What we offer

Stena Line has promoted community and created lifelong friendships since the beginning. Working aboard is not like any other job; here you work and live on the ship for a full week, followed by a paid week off. It is time to balance your passion for cooking with plenty of time for your own adventures.

Before you start working with us, you are offered a four-day trial work period. This is an opportunity for both you and us to evaluate if it is a good match.

Safety always comes first aboard, and you are an important part of our safety work. Before starting with us, we ensure that you receive thorough training in safety, service, and much more – all so that we can together experience a fantastic time aboard!

Who are you?

At Stena Line, your personality is just as important as your competence. Regardless of the role you have with us, welcoming, thoughtful, and reliable behaviors are traits that guide you in your daily work and the challenges you may face.

By being welcoming and supportive, you create a positive atmosphere and facilitate cooperation with your colleagues in the kitchen. Your humility ensures that you look out not only for yourself but also contribute to the community. The thoughtfulness and security you radiate make you a stable person who prioritizes the well-being of both colleagues and guests.

Your requirements:

• You have a high school education with a focus on hospitality or equivalent.
• Experience in cooking from scratch in both cold, hot, and large-scale kitchens.
• You are proficient in Swedish and English, both spoken and written.
• Good swimming skills.
• Have a valid passport or national ID card.
• STCW qualifications (Basic Safety).

Good to know

• Our Swedish-flagged ships depart from Gothenburg and Trelleborg, and you must be able to depart from all ports.
• The work involves varying working hours throughout all hours of the day.
• If you proceed in the process and are offered employment with us, you will undergo a medical examination and a drug test in accordance with our alcohol and drug policy.

Interested?

The position is a summer employment aboard our 8 Swedish-flagged ships, starting immediately. The application deadline is July 30. Selection and interviews are conducted on an ongoing basis, so do not wait with your application. We have a collective agreement with SEKO.
