Food Prep Worker at Aramark Destinations Mesa Verde

Spend your summer working inside one of the most breathtaking settings in the United States — Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado. As a Food Prep Worker with Aramark Destinations, you'll be part of the team that keeps hungry visitors fuelled while you enjoy the stunning landscapes of ancient cliff dwellings, wooded canyons, deer, elk, and wildflowers right outside your door.

You'll work in a professional kitchen environment, preparing a variety of dishes, maintaining food safety standards, and keeping the workspace clean and organised. Shifts can fall any day of the week between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. (occasional midnight close), and you can expect around 32–40 hours per week with overtime paid after 40 hours. On top of your $15/hour wage, there's an end-of-season bonus waiting for you when you finish strong!

Your home base will be affordable employer-provided housing (around $70/week, all utilities included), and your free time is anything but boring — the employer arranges trips to river rafting, horseback riding, steam engine railroad rides, Native American cultural sites, bowling, picnics, and movie nights. Free transportation to Cortez for shopping is also provided.
