The role of a Dishwasher at Sodexo in Markel UPA, Glen Allen is a full-time position offering an hourly pay range of $16.00 to $18.00. The work schedule includes varying shifts, with open availability preferred to accommodate days and hours as needed. This position plays a crucial role in supporting the kitchen and facility operations by maintaining cleanliness, sanitation, and organization throughout the food production and service areas.

Some locations may provide additional site-specific benefits such as free meals during shifts, uniform allowances, safety shoes, and transportation or parking support.

This role fits within Sodexo's mission to improve the quality of life for those it serves and contribute positively to the communities where it operates. The Dishwasher position may vary in duties depending on the business needs and client requirements of different accounts but will always play an essential role in maintaining a safe and efficient kitchen environment.
