Job Description

BLDG is a vibrant and innovative dining establishment where architecture, cuisine, and cocktails harmoniously converge to create a unique and memorable experience. Located within the iconic Hotel Marcel in Connecticut, BLDG draws inspiration from the region's rich agricultural heritage and the neighboring Atlantic Ocean. This fusion of local elements is reflected in the restaurant's menu which emphasizes the freshest local ingredients and artfully presented dishes designed to delight the modern palate. BLDG is known for its inventive cuisine and stylish atmosphere that perfectly balance creativity and taste, making it a standout destination for guests seeking an exceptional culinary experience. The restaurant embodies a commitment to quality and sustainability, mirroring the values of its parent establishment, Hotel Marcel.

Hotel Marcel, part of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton, occupies the historically significant Armstrong Rubber Company Building, originally designed by Marcel Breuer in 1967. This mid-century modern architectural gem has been thoughtfully rehabilitated to meet contemporary sustainable standards and holds the distinction of being the first Passive House certified hotel and the first net-zero energy hotel in the United States. With LEED Platinum certification, the hotel integrates cutting-edge green technologies, including solar power, electric car charging stations, and energy-efficient systems, ensuring a minimal environmental footprint. Guests at Hotel Marcel enjoy a sophisticated and eco-conscious environment that enhances their stay.

As a Food and Beverage Line Cook at BLDG, you will play a crucial role in delivering the restaurant's promise of exceptional dining experiences. This position involves preparing ingredients, cooking a variety of high-quality dishes according to the Chef's standards, and maintaining an organized and sanitary kitchen environment. The role requires meticulous attention to detail to uphold consistency in food preparation and presentation, which is essential in meeting and exceeding guest expectations. Beyond cooking, you will be responsible for setup, inventory management, and assisting with quality control measures such as tasting and temperature checks. This role provides an opportunity to work in a dynamic and collaborative kitchen, supporting the restaurant's mission of combining creativity, taste, and style within a sustainable hospitality setting. Candidates with a passion for culinary arts, strong work ethic, and a commitment to food safety will find this role rewarding and impactful.
