Jobs at World of Greenland

Become a chef in our arctic wilderness lodge Glacier Lodge Eqi. We make good, hearty food from Greenlandic ingredients - with a view of a calving glacier!

World of Greenland is looking for chefs from the beginning of June to the middle of September 2023.

A summer in Eqi is something very special. At Eqi there is nothing but breathtaking nature and our wilderness lodge Glacier Lodge Eqi – a restaurant, 14 cabins and 6 glamping tents, located 80 km north of Ilulissat with the Eqi Glacier and the enormous icecap as its nearest neighbor.
In Eqi, you really are far away from civilization. We are self-sufficient with our own water treatment plant, and the electricity comes from solar cells and emergency generators. It is only possible to get to Eqi by boat or helicopter, and the place is far beyond any phone signal or Wi-Fi. Don’t expect a pulsating city life in Eqi, instead you will find absolutely world-class nature and a unique community with colleagues and guests.

Off days are held partly in Eqi and partly in Ilulissat, which is Greenland's 3rd largest city.

As a chef at Glacier Lodge Eqi, you are responsible for ensuring that all culinary experiences in the lodge are of a high standard. This also means that you are an important factor in making the guests stay memorable. As a chef, you will be part of a youthful team of 6-8 employees, including a waiter, a fellow chef, guides, and a Lodge Manager. In Eqi the working days are long, and everybody work together to make things run smoothly.

We have room for up to 50 people in the restaurant, all of whom will be served a breakfast buffet (served by guides), a delicious lunch sandwich (most guests are out hiking for lunch) and a fixed 3-course evening menu.
As a chef, your main focus will be on dinner and lunch sandwiches, but also preparing breakfast for the next day.

For many visitors, Glacier Lodge Eqi is the highlight of their trip to Greenland, and this obliges us to deliver the best product every time. The standard in the kitchen is generally high, but with an informal atmosphere, where we like to chat a little with the guests in the semi-open kitchen. The focus of the food is high-quality local produce, such as reindeer, musk ox, Greenland lamb and halibut.
