This particular opportunity involves working in one of GIANT's retail stores located in Levittown, PA, as a prepared foods team member. The role is integral to the daily operations of the deli and prepared foods section, where the team member will engage in a wide variety of food preparation tasks, including making sandwiches, subs, wraps, and pizzas, cooking and roasting chicken, heating soups, and transferring deli foods for display. This position requires following meticulous food safety protocols and plan-o-grams (POG) to ensure products are consistently fresh, appropriately merchandised, and appealing to customers.

The prepared foods team member plays a key role in maintaining the cleanliness, organization, and operational readiness of the workspace. Responsibilities include cleaning and sanitizing all surfaces and equipment according to established safety and sanitation guidelines, tracking production and product losses, and performing regular maintenance tasks such as cleaning fryers and roasters.

Ideal candidates are those who can meet the physical demands of the job, including lifting up to 50 pounds and working in various temperature environments ranging from freezers to non-air-conditioned back rooms. The role demands standing and walking for the majority of the shift, requiring endurance and attention to food safety standards. A commitment to wearing personal protective equipment, such as cut-resistant gloves when handling knives or blades, is essential.

This position offers an opportunity to work in a smoke-free, safety-conscious environment that promotes learning, development, and teamwork.
