Sous Chef

UK Football

Job Description

Job Description

Sous Chef — UK Football Dining
Lexington, KY | Full-Time | $19.00/hour

Athenian is hiring a Sous Chef to help run the kitchen at the Joe Craft Center, preparing daily meals for University of Kentucky football. This is high-volume, athlete-focused cooking — fueling a Division I program through camp, season, and offseason training.

What you'll do

  • Run service on the line and lead the kitchen team through prep, cook, and clean-down
  • Execute the daily menu to spec, with an eye on portioning, macros, and consistency
  • Step in for the Chef when he's out — ordering, prep lists, and shift direction
  • Hold the line on food safety, temp logs, labeling, and rotation
  • Train and coach cooks and prep staff; keep the pass moving during tight service windows

What we're looking for

  • 2+ years in a kitchen, with at least some time in a lead or sous role
  • Comfortable with volume — banquet, catering, campus dining, or athletics experience is a plus
  • Solid knife skills and scratch-cooking fundamentals
  • Reliable, early, and steady when the room gets loud
  • Able to lift 50 lbs and stay on your feet through a full shift
  • ServSafe certification a plus (or willingness to get it)

Schedule
Early mornings and some weekends around the football calendar. Hours flex with the team's schedule during camp and in-season.

Pay
$19.00/hour, with room to move based on experience.

Apply through the posting to be contacted by our hiring team. Athenian is an equal opportunity employer.
