Essential Job Duties

Are you passionate about food, teamwork, and fueling the next generation of leaders, innovators, and thinkers? NC State Dining is looking for an energetic and reliable Cook to join our culinary team at One Earth in Talley.

In this role, you won't just be prepping food-you'll be a vital part of the campus experience, ensuring our community enjoys fresh, delicious, and safely prepared meals every day.

As a Cook, you will handle everything from recipe execution to leading station workflows. Your daily duties will include:

Master the Menu: Execute standard and routine recipes with precision to fulfill daily menus and keep our food stations stocked and looking great.
Inventory & Logistics: Requisition the products you need, and help check in, store, and move food supplies to keep production running smoothly.
Teamwork & Flow: Partner with front-of-house staff to coordinate a seamless flow of food from the kitchen to our guests, keeping track of food levels for timely service.
Tech & Data: Step up in the absence of a supervising chef by entering necessary data into our Netmenu food production system.
Kitchen Cleanliness: Maintain top-tier sanitation by cleaning utensils, workstations, tables, shelves, and equipment-and help delegate cleaning tasks to the back-of-house team.
Lead by Example: Ensure daily prep lists are completed and products are properly rotated. You'll also help assign tasks and direct the efforts of food service technicians, temporary staff, and student employees.

Who You Are

A team player who thrives in a fast-paced, high-energy environment.
Detail-oriented about food safety, cleanliness, and recipe accuracy.
A positive motivator who enjoys guiding and directing student and temporary staff.
Reliable, punctual, and proud of the food you put out.

At NC State, we culture a welcoming community of collaboration and growth. You'll enjoy a vibrant campus environment, stable scheduling, and the opportunity to grow your culinary career with a trusted university employer.

Ready to bring your passion to our kitchen? Apply today and help us keep NC State well-fed and moving forward!
