About this role
At The Ritz-Carlton in Saint Thomas, this Cook III role centers on executing high-standard food preparation for banquets and daily service. You'll work across multiple cooking stations—ovens, stoves, grills, fryers—while also handling cold food preparation, plating, and ingredient prep. The position demands precision: weighing and measuring ingredients, monitoring food quality throughout service, testing for doneness, and flagging anything that doesn't meet the property's specifications to management.
Beyond cooking, the role includes significant kitchen maintenance and sanitation responsibilities, from prepping your station to disinfecting equipment and tools, plus temperature checks on appliances and food. You'll be on your feet for extended periods, regularly reaching, bending, and lifting up to 25 pounds. The Ritz-Carlton also expects professional appearance, clear communication with team members and guests, and strict adherence to safety protocols and company policies.
This is a full-time, in-office position suited to someone with at least two years of related kitchen experience and a high school diploma or equivalent. No supervisory background is required. If you thrive in a fast-paced, detail-oriented kitchen environment and take pride in food quality and safety standards, this role offers the chance to work within a recognized luxury hospitality brand.
