Under is not just a restaurant – it’s an invitation to see, feel, and taste the sea in a new way. Located five meters below the ocean surface at the southern tip of Norway, we are home to one of the world’s most unique dining experiences. With deep respect for nature, we craft menus that speak of place, season, and purpose.
As we continue to grow, we're expanding our leadership team and are now looking for a talented Head Chef to work closely with our Executive Chef, Bernt Sætre.
About the Role
As Head Chef, you will work closely with our Executive Chef and R&D Chef as part of a small but ambitious leadership team. You’ll be responsible for the daily kitchen operations and for leading a talented team that cares deeply about food, the ocean, and each other.
You’ll have the chance to shape a kitchen where creativity, precision, and heart go hand in hand — and where your voice truly matters.
Who You Are
- You have proven leadership experience in a fine dining environment.
- You are passionate about local ingredients, foraging, sustainability, and the craft of cooking.
- You believe that food can create real change – in people, in culture, and in how we treat nature.
- You lead with kindness, clarity, and respect – for your team, your guests, and the ingredients you work with.
- You’re a strong communicator, a good listener, and someone who helps others thrive.
- You value work-life balance and want to be part of a team where well-being is just as important as ambition.
What We Offer
- A unique workplace beneath the waves — unlike anywhere else on earth.
- A strong, safe, and inclusive team culture, where every person matters.
- Supportive working environment, competitive salary, and a focus on work-life balance.
- The opportunity to be part of something greater – a restaurant that’s as much aboutmission as it is about meals.
