Looking for a COOK / CHEF (f/m/d)
Our projects from 4 May to 28 June 2026 on the Hüttenwerk project ( documentary theatre about steel industry, a tour with the Oceanblue Train):
Our theatre company is preparing the season for the railway theater and several projects in different regions of Germany. Exciting immersive theater projects with our own Oceanblue Train are carried out along railway tracks throughout Germany. In early summer, a play about the steel industry will be staged on the grounds of a steelworks, which will then tour several freight stations in special railway carriages.
The theater operates the world's only production facility for theater on rails. There are accommodations, a kitchen, offices, a workshop and the technical warehouse in eleven wagons. The team lives, travels and works on the train. There is a single cabin available for everyone. Full meals are served in the dining car.
We are now still looking for a COOK / CHEF (f/m/d)
We will need a COOK / CHEF from 4 May to 28 June 2026. A friendly, well organized and open-minded person who can cook for us in a professionally equiped kitchen (on rails).

Experience with cooking for a larger group of people (around 20 persons) and a driving licence would be an additive advantage.
