About The Position
The University of St. Thomas invites qualified candidates to apply to the Sous Chef opening within the University's Dining Services Department. This is a Full Time position, 12 months out of the year, where the employee will work directly for the university, not a food service company. As a member of the culinary management team, the Sous Chef is responsible for supporting the Production Chef (PC) as an active and working participant in food production in the Main Kitchen. Duties include food production and the delegation/supervision of prep duties to culinary and student staff in a fast-paced, high volume kitchen. The Sous Chef will oversee and train cooks and food service workers on how to properly follow recipes, plate and present food in an appropriate manner, and follow ServSafe food handling and food safety guidelines. This position will work on the St. Paul campus in one of our cafeteria style dining halls and is expected to have a daytime schedule of 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM; there may be times the person in this role will need to work on weekends. The schedule will be dependent on business needs. This position is designated Emergency Essential.
