About the Role

A leading airline catering company is hiring Cooks for its Pittsburgh-area production kitchen. This is high-volume, fast-paced commercial cooking — you'll prepare hot food items from scratch for domestic flights, working from standard recipes across sauces, proteins, starches, and vegetables. If you've worked in a hotel kitchen, commissary, banquet hall, or high-volume restaurant, this role will feel familiar — and it's a great next step if you're looking to grow under an experienced culinary team.

What You'll Do

  • Prepare hot food items from raw to finished state, on schedule with kitchen ready times and flight departures

  • Cook a variety of main course components — sauces, proteins, starches, vegetables — including items with longer prep times

  • Follow standardized recipes and airline meal specifications precisely

  • Maintain food quality and consistency to meet client specifications

  • Work in compliance with FDA and HACCP food safety standards

  • Support menu presentation and assist other kitchen staff as needed

What You Bring

  • Solid knife skills and familiarity with commercial kitchen equipment (ovens, steamers, grills, deep fryers)

  • Ability to read and follow standard recipes and menu specs

  • Previous experience in a large commercial kitchen — hotel, commissary, or high-volume restaurant — a plus

  • Understanding of food hygiene, HACCP, and USDA standards

  • Comfortable on your feet for a full shift, in a kitchen with varying temperatures

  • High school diploma or equivalent

  • Strong communication skills and ability to stay composed under pressure

  • A team-first attitude — you'll be working alongside a diverse crew from all over the world

Why You'll Like It Here

  • Free lunches, free parking, free uniforms

  • Medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)

  • Sign-on bonus up to $2,000

  • Room to grow — train alongside experienced chefs and build real large-scale kitchen experience

Own transportation recommended — location is not accessible by public transit.
