JOB DESCRIPTION

Thousands of kids eat because of what your hands make before sunrise.

Long before the first school bell, our kitchen is already alive, and the meals we make there are the most dependable breakfast or lunch some Arizona kids get all day. As a Kitchen Prep team member, you’re right at the center of that. Yes, it’s early. Yes, it moves fast. And yes, it truly matters. Every tray you help fill is a kid who gets to focus on learning instead of being hungry. If you take pride in real, hands-on work that feeds real kids, and you want steady hours with your nights and weekends free, come build something that counts with us.

Before You Apply: What to Expect

We’re upfront so the right people apply and stick around:

  • Very early starts: Hot Prep can begin between 1:00 AM and 3:00 AM; Cold Prep typically begins between 4:00 AM and 7:00 AM.
  • The kitchen is hot, fast, and loud during production. This is high-volume work with daily meal targets.
  • You will be on your feet for your entire shift and perform repetitive lifting up to 50 lbs.
  • You will work around knives, commercial equipment, food odors, and cleaning chemicals.
  • This is a school-year role, so hours can drop or pause during school breaks.

Is this the right fit? You’ll thrive here if you are reliable, can handle early mornings and a fast pace, and like steady, hands-on work where consistency matters.

What You’ll Do

  • Prepare hot and cold menu items using standardized recipes.
  • Portion meals to USDA guidelines, including allergy-sensitive meals.
  • Support high-volume production lines to hit daily meal targets.
  • Follow HACCP food-safety and sanitation standards.
  • Clean and sanitize workstations, dishes, and equipment.
  • Pitch in with the team and on-site meal service as needed.

What We’re Looking For

  • At least 6 months in a production kitchen or food-service environment.
  • Food Handler’s Card, or able to obtain within 5 days of hire.
  • Comfortable starting very early (Hot Prep can begin 1:00–3:00 AM/Cold starts bewteen 4:00-7:00 AM).
  • Reliable, detail-oriented, and able to keep pace in a hot, busy kitchen.
  • Basic math and portioning accuracy.
  • Spanish bilingual is a plus.

Why Join Nutrition One?

  • Meaningful work serving students and communities.
  • Competitive pay with performance-based growth opportunities.
  • Training in USDA and food-safety standards.
  • Nights and weekends off.
  • Supportive team environment built on our core values.

If you want your work to mean something before most people are even awake, hit Apply. We’d love to have you in the kitchen.
