Job Description

Cozzini Bros. is a prestigious company widely recognized as America’s top knife rental and sharpening service. Established in 1905 as a family-owned business in Chicago, Cozzini Bros. has a rich history spanning over a century, evolving into the premier provider of cutlery solutions for commercial kitchens nationwide. The company serves more than 100,000 restaurants and commercial kitchens across the United States, providing specially engineered knives and blades that are exchanged bi-weekly. This innovative service ensures that kitchens maintain optimal sharpness and efficiency, contributing significantly to food preparation quality, consistency, and safety.

At Cozzini Bros., the foundation of success lies in its commitment to six core values: Safety, Service, Trust, Team, Continuous Improvement, and Integrity. These values create a strong corporate culture that emphasizes customer satisfaction and workplace safety. As a growing company, Cozzini Bros. prides itself on its continuous improvement and dedication to both employee and client success. The company incorporates cutting-edge technology and practices to uphold its standards, and fosters a collaborative team environment where each member’s contribution plays an integral role in overall growth.

Located in San Jose, CA, the company is currently seeking a dedicated Delivery and Sales Associate to join their team. This role is ideal for professionals who value work-life balance, as it offers Monday to Thursday 10-hour shifts, resulting in three-day weekends every week. The position involves light duty deliveries utilizing a small sprinter or transit van. Unlike larger commercial driving roles, this job does not require a commercial driver's license (CDL), making it more accessible to a wider range of candidates.

The Delivery and Sales Associate will be responsible for delivering and exchanging cutlery with national and local restaurants, food service providers, and grocery outlets. They will also handle the exchange of kitchen blades on various food service equipment such as can openers, deli slicers, and food processors. This role blends delivery duties with the opportunity to promote and sell company programs and products, requiring excellent interpersonal and communication skills to build lasting customer relationships. The candidate will use handheld devices to efficiently track customer knives and blades, ensuring accuracy and accountability in inventory management.

In addition to a competitive compensation package with performance incentives, Cozzini Bros. provides comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short- and long-term disability coverage, a 401(k) plan with company matching, six paid holidays, and paid vacation. Employees have the opportunity to grow within a supportive, team-oriented environment that values dedication, safety, and customer-first attitudes. The role occasionally may require overnight travel, enhancing career growth and experience in a dynamic delivery service setting.

Cozzini Bros. invites motivated individuals who possess reliability, excellent customer service, and a safety-conscious mindset to apply and be a part of this thriving company. The position offers a stable, recurring service role rather than a one-time delivery job, ensuring consistent employment and growth opportunities within an established yet innovative business.
