At Bigham’s Smokehouse, we believe leadership is about more than being in charge. It is about serving people well, setting the standard, encouraging the team, and helping create a family atmosphere for both our guests and our employees.

Our family has been serving West Texas since 1978, and we are looking for a Part-Time Team Leader who wants to be part of something meaningful. This is a great opportunity for someone who is responsible, mature, dependable, and interested in growing as a leader.

A great Part-Time Team Leader at Bigham’s understands that we are in the people business, not just the food business. Food quality matters. Speed matters. Cleanliness matters. But the way we treat our team and serve our guests matters just as much.

This role is fast‑paced, hands‑on, and team‑focused. You will help lead the shift, support Team Members, protect food quality, and make sure guests are served with care and consistency. From building plates to cleaning floors, you understand that every task matters when it is done with excellence.

At Bigham’s, we value Excellence, Consistency, Loyalty, and Service. These values guide how we work, how we lead, how we treat one another, and how we serve our community.

As a Part‑Time Team Leader, you will help set the tone for the shift. You will lead by example, communicate clearly, and help the team stay organized and focused.

You are someone who can hold people accountable while still showing respect, kindness, and patience. You understand that leadership means serving the team, not just telling people what to do.

You enjoy helping others succeed under pressure. You notice what needs to be done, jump in where help is needed, and help Team Members understand why their work matters.

You also understand the value of systems. Checklists, cleaning standards, food quality standards, and accountability tools help the team succeed and keep the restaurant running with consistency.

Responsibilities

• Lead the team with a service‑first, team‑first mindset
• Set the tone for the shift through attitude, work ethic, and communication
• Help Team Members feel supported, prepared, and empowered
• Hold the team accountable with respect, kindness, and clarity
• Make sure food quality, presentation, and consistency meet Bigham’s standards
• Keep the shift organized and help the team stay focused during busy times
• Communicate clearly with Team Members, managers, and guests
• Lead by example in every task, including serving food, cleaning, stocking, and helping where needed
• Use checklists, cleaning standards, and other systems to help the restaurant run well
• Maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming environment
• Help train and encourage Team Members
• Serve guests with genuine hospitality and care
• Represent Bigham’s values of Excellence, Consistency, Loyalty, and Service

What We’re Looking For

• Mature, dependable, and responsible
• Team‑oriented and willing to serve others
• Able to lead by example
• Comfortable giving direction and holding others accountable
• Kind, respectful, and steady under pressure
• Teachable and open to feedback
• Organized and able to manage multiple tasks
• Able to work in a fast‑paced restaurant environment
• Able to communicate clearly with teammates, managers, and guests
• Able to stand for several hours at a time
• Able to lift, carry, or pull heavy objects when needed
• Willing to complete or maintain a Food Handler’s Certification or Manager Food Safety Certification if required
• Leadership experience is helpful, but strong character, ownership, humility, and a desire to grow as a leader matter just as much

Schedule

This is a part‑time leadership position. Hours may vary based on restaurant needs and availability. Evening and weekend availability is a plus.

This role may be a good fit for college students, college‑aged candidates, young professionals, or anyone looking for meaningful part‑time leadership experience in a values‑driven, team‑focused environment.
