The role of Food Preparation Supervisor at Marion Correctional Institution is a critical position within Aramark’s food service operations in a correctional environment. As a Food Preparation Supervisor, you will be responsible for overseeing the preparation of meals by managing inmates who assist in food production. This role requires a combination of leadership, operational skills, and a strong commitment to safety and security. The supervisor will assign tasks, train employees, and organize workflows to ensure that meals are produced efficiently and that the facility maintains a clean and safe environment. You will also review and approve production and temperature logs to ensure compliance with food safety standards and adhere to HACCP guidelines.

In addition to day-to-day food preparation oversight, the supervisor will be responsible for security compliance, safeguarding equipment and storage areas, and ensuring that all procedures and schedules promote food safety and operational efficiency.

This is a full-time position requiring dedication to safety protocols, strong leadership skills, and the capacity to work independently with minimal supervision. Candidates must be at least 18 years old, with at least one year of experience in food preparation or a related role preferred, and prior supervisory experience considered a plus. Food safety certification is a mandatory requirement. Experience working in correctional environments is advantageous but not mandatory.
