Job Description

Glenmoor Country Club, located in Colorado, is a premier private country club known for its exceptional dining experiences, top-tier recreational amenities, and a commitment to outstanding member service. As a well-established country club with a rich tradition of hospitality, Glenmoor offers a unique working environment that blends the elegance and prestige of a high-end club with the camaraderie and team spirit found in a close-knit culinary community. The club prides itself on delivering high-quality food and beverage services across its various venues including casual dining outlets, poolside areas, golf events, banquet facilities, and special member functions. With a strong emphasis on culinary excellence and innovative menu offerings, Glenmoor continually seeks to enhance its guests' dining experiences through attention to detail, fresh ingredients, and skilled food preparation.

The seasonal position of Pizza Cook / Pizzaiolo at Glenmoor Country Club is an exciting opportunity for culinary professionals passionate about artisan pizza making and working in a dynamic kitchen setting. This role will be pivotal upon the introduction of Glenmoor's upcoming outdoor pizza oven trailer operation. The Pizza Cook will be responsible for preparing handcrafted pizzas using fresh, high-quality ingredients and traditional techniques. This includes preparing pizza dough and sauces from scratch, shaping and topping pizzas, and baking them to perfection using various ovens such as wood-fired, stone hearth, and deck ovens. The role supports not only the new pizza trailer concept but also integrates with Glenmoor's broader culinary operations including casual dining, poolside service, banquets, golf events, and special member events.

This role demands a high level of skill in fermentation, proofing dough, operating high-temperature ovens, and maintaining strict food safety standards, particularly with allergen management such as gluten-free and other sensitive dietary needs. The ideal candidate is adaptable, detail-oriented, and able to perform consistently in a fast-paced and energetic environment. Glenmoor's culinary team promotes a professional yet collaborative culture, with opportunities for growth and advancement. Competitive hourly pay is offered, ranging from $23.00 to $25.00 per hour based on experience and qualifications. Seasonal schedules provide consistency yet flexibility to accommodate the club's event-driven operations. As an equal opportunity employer, Glenmoor is dedicated to fostering an inclusive workplace that values diversity and equal employment opportunities for all individuals regardless of background or status.
