Job Description

Plum Market Food Service is a dynamic and customer-focused company operating within Eppley Airfield, specializing in delivering premium food and beverage services to travelers and airport staff. As a well-established food service provider, Plum Market Food Service is known for its commitment to quality, efficiency, and excellent customer experiences. The company operates in a fast-paced airport environment, requiring team members to be proactive, reliable, and adaptable to constantly changing conditions and schedules. The work environment at Plum Market Food Service is collaborative and supportive, with a focus on maintaining high service standards and smooth operations across multiple food bar locations within the airport terminal.

The Runner at Plum Market Food Service plays an essential role in the overall operation by ensuring the efficient and timely movement of products, supplies, and equipment throughout the various service points at Eppley Airfield. This full-time, non-exempt position is designed for individuals who thrive in a fast-moving environment and who are capable of handling physical tasks such as lifting and pushing carts. The Runner acts as a vital bridge between the storage areas, kitchen, and food bar stations, ensuring that all locations remain well-stocked and ready to serve customers. This role demands a high level of attention to detail, responsibility, and adherence to safety and security regulations, especially given the airport context.

In addition to product transport, the Runner is responsible for monitoring stock levels and assisting with the setup and breakdown of service stations. Communication is a key component of this position, as the Runner must promptly report any inventory or delivery issues to the appropriate teams to prevent service interruptions. Furthermore, maintaining cleanliness and security standards for all transported items and equipment is critical to ensure compliance with health, safety, and airport standards. The position requires flexibility in scheduling, with shifts starting between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. and ending around 7 p.m. or later. Weekend availability is mandatory, and employees must be willing to work early mornings, weekends, and holidays as needed.

Candidates interested in the Runner position should be prepared to undergo an airport background check and must qualify for the airport badging process. Familiarity with airport operations and logistics is beneficial, although Plum Market Food Service provides the necessary training to ensure employees are well-prepared to meet all job requirements. This role is perfect for individuals who enjoy active work, teamwork, and being part of a service-driven environment that plays a crucial role in supporting airport food service operations.
