Jobs in Collegeville, MN

We're a family-owned wedding and event venue in Sartell looking for someone to take over our kitchen. Not just fill a spot, but truly own it.

What the job actually is:

You'd be our event banquet chef, preparing full meals for weddings every weekend. Our events are usually 150-400 guests, plating, and service execution based on what each couple has selected. This isn't line cooking. It's organized, high-volume, and you're running the show.

After a training period, you'd be managing the kitchen independently. Ordering, prep, execution, all of it.

This is a demanding job. You work every weekend. Your typical schedule is Wednesday through Saturday, with Sundays, Mondays, and sometimes Tuesdays off. There's no sugarcoating it. If you need weekends free, this isn't the right fit.

But if you're someone who thrives on owning your craft and wants a kitchen that's yours to run, keep reading.

What makes this different from other kitchen jobs:

• Family-owned business where you're treated like family, not a number
• We take our team on trips. Mexico, Jamaica, dinners out, we actually invest in the people who show up for us
• Real growth potential, bonuses, including possible ownership opportunities down the road
• You would not be grinding through a dinner rush every night. The schedule is structured around events, so you know what's coming and can plan accordingly
• We have great systems already in place so you would not building from scratch

Who we're looking for:

• Experienced cook who's ready to step into a leadership role
• Organized and self-motivated. You don't need someone standing over your shoulder
• Reliable. This is the single most important quality. Our couples are counting on you for the biggest day of their lives
• Hands-on. You're cooking, not just managing
• If this sounds like you, or if you know someone who'd be a great fit, send me a message or apply below.

• 
  
• Monday-Friday/No weekends; unless extra hours are desired
  
• No working holidays
  
• Paid hourly, time-and-a-half over 40 hours
  
• Health, Dental and Vision insurance available
  
• Uniforms provided
  
• Paid time off
  
• Paid holidays
  
• 401k retirement plan with employer match
  

• 
  
• Ability to operate a welder and associated tools to perform repairs on dumpsters, shipping containers and all types of equipment.
  
• Ability to responsibly stage and weld components in a variety of placements and scenarios.
  
• Willingness to work 40-50 hours per week.
  
• Flexibility with willingness to perform all assigned tasks.
  
• Operate equipment and tools safely and effectively.
  

• 
  
• Over 1 year of vocational training or experience in welding.
  
• Able to speak, read and write in the English language.
  
• Successfully complete a pre-employment drug test.
  
• Physically able to stoop, bend, crouch and climb and carrying up to 50 lbs.
  

• 
  
• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field.
  
• 7+ years of IT infrastructure experience, including 3+ years supporting multi-site or hybrid environments.
  
• Strong knowledge of manufacturing and OT/IT network integration and industrial cybersecurity.
  
• Experience managing Microsoft tenants and M365 environments; familiarity with Cisco, Fortinet, or similar technologies.
  

Do you want to become a surrogate? We are now offering a sign on bonus to all qualified and matched surrogates that sign contracts. The first step is to fill out our surrogate application. A fertility specialist will contact you to continue the process. For intended parents interested in surrogacy to start or grow their families please contact us today. The surrogacy process is complex, but we will be with you every step of the way. Call today to get started.

Women who may have the ability to produce eggs but are unable to use their uterus or do not have a uterus, may consider a surrogate. A donated egg may also be used with the surrogate in the event a woman cannot produce her own eggs or her uterus is not intact or insufficient to carry a pregnancy. In either case, the husband's sperm, if viable, may be used.

Using an egg donor unrelated to the surrogate carrier eliminates any biological tie. The egg of the surrogate is never used as part of the assisted reproduction process, so that a surrogate is never in the position of delivering her own biological child.

The basic requirements of a woman to serve as a surrogate are:

• Emotionally stable
• Responsible
• In good physical health
• Non-smoker
• Has had at least one successful pregnancy
• Is capable of carrying a child to full term

A woman is not required to fall within a particular age range to serve as a surrogate, but most intended parents prefer a surrogate under the age of 40. For more information on surrogacy please see the documents on the left side of this page.

In Texas, there is a judicial process for validating the Gestational Contract (the contract between the intended parents and the surrogate). Included within the various requirements for having a Gestational Contract validated by a Texas court is that the intended parents must be married and the surrogate must have previously carried a child to term. Additionally, there are residency requirements that apply to either the surrogate or the intended parents, but not both.

Compensation for a surrogate services generally starts in the range of $35,000 - $40,000, for base compensation with over all fees up to 70k, in many cases. The amount of compensation is dependent upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, whether the surrogate carries twins, what procedures a surrogate is required to undergo and whether the delivery is vaginally or by cesarean section.
