Compass Group is a leading global foodservice and support services company with a strong commitment to delivering exceptional dining experiences in various educational, business, and healthcare environments. With a presence on university campuses, in corporate offices, and at large events, Compass Group is dedicated to innovation, quality, and sustainability in its culinary offerings. Their commitment to excellence is reflected in their pursuit of hiring skilled and motivated individuals who share their passion for enhancing customer satisfaction and contributing to a positive workplace culture. The company emphasizes diversity and inclusion, ensuring fair treatment for all employees and applicants regardless of background or status, making it an inclusive employer in the food service industry.
This particular opportunity is at American University, located at 4400 Massachusetts Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC. The role is part-time with varied days and hours depending on business needs, during which applicants will engage directly in food preparation and service within the campus foodservice environment. The rate of pay is competitive at $26.07 per hour, demonstrating the company’s investment in quality employees. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply online, with the process facilitated by conversational recruiting tools to streamline applications.
The position involves the final preparation of all food items served, adhering strictly to federal, state, and local health regulations including HACCP and OSHA standards. Reporting to supervisors and team leaders, you will ensure that meals are presented with high quality, consistency, safety, and attention to detail. The role requires high-volume foodservice experience, highlighting the importance of efficiency and quality under pressure.

This role emphasizes teamwork, professionalism, and a positive workplace atmosphere. Employees in this position have the chance to grow with Compass Group through training and development programs, improving their skills and advancing their careers within the company.
Notably, this position may be subject to seasonal work variations, such as academic breaks when food service demand decreases. While some periods may involve temporary layoffs, there is potential for year-round work or assignments at other locations based on operational requirements. This flexibility and understanding of educational calendar cycles define the unique aspects of working on a college campus.
Compass Group’s employee benefits package is comprehensive, offering training opportunities, retirement plans, health and wellness programs, and various voluntary benefits like pet insurance and identity theft protection. Full-time equivalents enjoy enhanced benefits including medical, dental, vision coverage, and flexible spending accounts.
