Job description

Full-Time | 40 Hours/Week | Set Schedule | Temp-to-Hire
Pay: $16.00/hour
Location: Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), Henrietta, NY

Want a steady schedule AND a job that can turn into a long-term career?

TES Staffing is partnering directly with Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to hire multiple full-time Dining Team Members across RIT's campus.

These are 40-hour-per-week positions with consistent, set schedules,and many are intended to become permanent RIT positions after approximately three months.

Working through TES is an opportunity to get your foot in the door at RIT, demonstrate what you can do, and move through the permanent-hire process quickly rather than simply submitting an application and hoping to hear back.

If you're reliable, ready to work and looking for stability, this could be an excellent opportunity, even if you don't have years of food-service experience.

Why This Job Is Different

GUARANTEED FULL-TIME HOURS
All positions are 40 hours per week.

A SET, PREDICTABLE SCHEDULE
This isn't a restaurant job where you wonder what you'll be working next week. You'll have an established schedule and work with the same team and managers regularly. Exact schedules vary by RIT Dining location.

UP TO $10/DAY TOWARD YOUR MEALS
While working at RIT through TES Staffing, you'll receive up to $10 per workday to use toward food on campus.

REAL TEMP-TO-HIRE OPPORTUNITY
RIT is actively looking to add permanent employees to its Dining team. Many of these openings are structured as approximately three-month temp-to-hire opportunities.

Do great work, show up consistently and be a strong teammate, and you'll have an opportunity to be considered for permanent employment with RIT.

And Going Permanent With RIT Is a BIG Deal

RIT offers an impressive benefits package to eligible permanent employees, including:

• Generous PTO and paid holidays
• Retirement plan with employer contributions
• Weekly meal benefits
• Access to campus facilities and amenities
• Career-development and advancement opportunities
• Tuition benefits for employees and eligible family members

Yes, we're serious about the education benefit.

For someone interested in continuing their education, RIT's tuition benefits can be a tremendous long-term advantage.

Eligible employees may have access to tuition assistance, including significant undergraduate tuition benefits, and RIT also offers educational benefits for eligible family members.

That means an entry-level job in Dining can potentially become much more than a paycheck. It can be an entry point into a university where you can build a career and pursue your education at the same time.

What Will You Be Doing?

We're hiring for several areas within RIT Dining. Depending on your experience and assigned location, responsibilities may include:

• Serving food to students, faculty and staff
• Preparing basic hot and cold foods
• Working on a serving line
• Dishwashing and maintaining kitchen areas
• Setting up and breaking down food stations
• Restocking suppliesCleaning and sanitizing work areas
• Following food-safety and sanitation procedures
• Providing friendly customer service
• Assisting cooks and other Dining team members as needed

RIT Dining is busy. Individual locations can serve hundreds or even thousands of meals each day, so you'll need to be comfortable working at a steady pace and being part of a team.

You do NOT need to be a professional chef. RIT is open to training people who have the right attitude, reliability and basic foundation to succeed.

What We're Really Looking For

Experience is helpful. Reliability is essential.

We're looking for people who:

• Show up for every scheduled shift and arrive on time
• Want a consistent 40-hour workweek
• Can follow directions and learn quickly
• Work well as part of a team
• Treat coworkers, students and customers with respect
• Can maintain professionalism in a busy environment
• Are willing to jump in and help where needed
• Take pride in doing their job well

RIT is an extremely diverse and inclusive campus community. You'll interact with students and employees from many different backgrounds and abilities, and respect for others is an absolute expectation.

Slip-resistant shoes are required. RIT provides shirts and hats for Dining staff.

Transportation — Please Read!

Having your own vehicle or reliable daily transportation is strongly preferred.

RIT is not the easiest campus to reach using public transportation, particularly for very early morning or later evening shifts.

However, experienced bus riders may absolutely be able to make certain schedules work.

There is bus access to the Wegmans/Highland Drive area, where employees may be able to connect with an RIT shuttle that runs to campus.If you're comfortable navigating RTS and connecting with the RIT shuttle, don't automatically rule yourself out.

We'll talk through the specific location and schedule with you before placement so you know exactly where you're going and can determine whether the commute works for you.

What Happens After You're Hired?

TES Staffing provides an organized onboarding process before your first regular shift. You'll attend orientation, complete required safety and compliance training, and get familiar with campus and your work location.

On your first day, you'll report directly to your Dining location and receive hands-on training from your team.

The goal is simple: we want you to know where you're going, what to expect and who you're working with before Day One.
