Sous Chef (Full Time)
About The Position
The Sous Chef helps the Executive Chef prepare and cook food, coordinates the activities of cooks and other food-service associates, and assumes responsibility for kitchen and food-service associates in the Executive Chef’s absence. The role is based at Carroll College in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and follows a full-time schedule with days and hours that may vary, including PM shifts. The fixed pay rate is $26.00 per hour. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis until the position is filled. This position supports campus food service and requires following approved recipes, production standards, and food-safety and sanitation procedures. The Sous Chef also supervises hourly food-service associates and helps ensure timely production, quality service, and appropriate inventory practices. Because the role serves an educational facility, work may be reduced or paused during school breaks; these periods may be unpaid and may be treated as temporary layoffs. Depending on business needs, the associate may be asked to work year-round, potentially at another location during breaks.
