About The Position

Step Up to the Plate as Our Part-Time Sanitation Technician! At Home Run Inn, we believe pizza should do more than fill you up—it should lift you up. For nearly 100 years, we've been bringing people together over authentic Chicago tavern-style pizza. Behind every great pizza is an incredible team, and keeping our production environment clean, safe, and ready to go is a huge part of making that happen. If you're someone who takes pride in doing things the right way, works well independently, and isn't afraid to roll up your sleeves, we'd love to meet you. As our Sanitation Technician, you'll help keep our food manufacturing facility clean, safe, and ready for production. You'll be trained on the proper techniques for cleaning and sanitizing production equipment, machines, work areas, and common spaces. You'll also learn how to safely handle cleaning chemicals, sanitizers, and equipment while following all food safety, GMP, and workplace safety requirements.
