About the job

Elephants offers great local foods from scratch every day, and much of that food is prepared at our Milwaukie Production Kitchen. To accomplish this goal, we rely on an exceptional group of food professionals to produce high-quality food products 24/7. We are a speedy team that is constantly evolving to meet the needs of our stores and customers.
