Sodexo values its people by fostering an inclusive environment where employees can be themselves and contribute meaningfully to the team.

The Utility Worker position at Sodexo, based at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, is a full-time role offering an hourly wage between $16 and $16.5.

Utility Workers assist with cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, floors, walls, and storage areas, contributing directly to the safety and quality of food production and service.

This role offers a hands-on opportunity to support essential operations while working as part of a committed team that values safety and compliance with food safety standards. Utility Workers at Sodexo support not just the physical cleanliness of the kitchen but also help sustain a seamless workflow by transporting supplies and assisting with setup and breakdown tasks. Candidates joining Sodexo in this capacity become part of a company that encourages ongoing training and offers a pathway for advancement, ensuring that this position can be a rewarding career choice rather than just a job.

In addition to competitive pay, Sodexo provides a broad range of employee benefits designed to promote work-life balance, health, and financial security. Benefits packages include paid time off, holidays, medical coverage, dental and vision plans, tuition reimbursement, 401k retirement plans, employee discount programs, and potential site-specific perks like free meals, uniforms, and transportation assistance. Sodexo's inclusive employment practices ensure equal opportunity for all, creating a workplace environment that values diversity and mutual respect. Joining Sodexo means being part of a team that truly makes a difference in the quality of life for those it serves and for its employees. This comprehensive role as a Utility Worker is ideal for individuals seeking steady employment in a supportive, flexible setting, with opportunities for personal and professional growth.
