Job Description

Sodexo is a global leader in integrated facilities management and food services, dedicated to improving the quality of life for those they serve. Operating in various sectors including education, healthcare, corporate, and government facilities, Sodexo provides a diverse range of services such as food service, catering, and facilities management worldwide. With a strong commitment to social responsibility and sustainability, Sodexo strives to create a better everyday experience for both customers and employees by fostering an inclusive work environment where every team member is valued and respected.

The company is currently seeking a part-time Cook to join the team at the Cherrydale Primary location in Steilacoom. This role offers an hourly pay range between $19.00 and $20.50, with work shifts scheduled on weekdays, encompassing morning, afternoon, and evening times. The Cook position is integral to the dining experience Sodexo strives to deliver, focusing on the preparation of high-quality meals that meet strict culinary standards for safety, consistency, and presentation.

As a Cook at Sodexo, you will work in a fast-paced environment, responsible for preparing, portioning, cooking, and presenting both hot and cold food items across various meal periods and events. The role demands a thorough knowledge of food safety standards and culinary techniques to ensure all dishes are served at their best. This is a significant opportunity for individuals passionate about cooking to develop their skills within a supportive and flexible workplace that values work-life balance and employee growth.

In addition to culinary duties, the Cook is expected to maintain a clean and organized workstation, assist with estimating food requirements, and keep accurate production records. The role requires physical stamina given the need to stand and walk for extended periods, occasionally lifting items up to 50 pounds and performing repetitive motions. Opportunities for advancement and ongoing training are available, emphasizing Sodexo's commitment to career development within the food service industry.

Sodexo's employment approach centers on inclusivity and respect, providing equal opportunity regardless of personal characteristics and encouraging a culture where every employee can thrive. Benefits include access to ongoing training and development, flexible schedules, a comprehensive benefits package supporting employee and family wellbeing, and additional location-specific perks such as free shift meals, uniforms, and transportation assistance. Working at Sodexo means joining a team that values your ideas, supports your growth, and recognizes the impact of your everyday contributions.
