Culinary Trainer
Turn Your Culinary Experience Into a Career That Makes an Impact
Are you passionate about cooking and helping others succeed? Ready to trade late nights, weekends, and unpredictable restaurant hours for a consistent daytime schedule while staying hands-on in the kitchen?
American Cruise Lines, the largest river cruise line in the United States, is looking for a Culinary Trainer to join our team in Salt Lake City, UT. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced line cook, sous chef, or culinary professional who enjoys mentoring others and wants to help develop the next generation of shipboard chefs.
Working alongside our Culinary Training Executive Chef, you'll teach, coach, and inspire new culinary team members through engaging classroom instruction and hands-on kitchen training. You'll play a key role in preparing employees to deliver exceptional dining experiences aboard the finest American ships.
At American Cruise Lines, our culture is built on Optimism, Commitment, Patriotism, and Merit. If you're ready to grow your career while helping others do the same, we'd love to meet you.
What You'll Do
- Lead engaging classroom and hands-on culinary training for new shipboard employees.
- Teach culinary techniques, food safety, sanitation, and company operating standards.
- Coach and mentor trainees, providing feedback that builds confidence and skills.
- Evaluate trainee performance and ensure readiness for onboard assignments.
- Support the development and delivery of training materials.
- Help maintain our training kitchen and assist with food preparation and meal service when classes are not in session.
- Collaborate with the Culinary Training Executive Chef to continuously improve the training experience.
- Travel occasionally to company vessels and training locations (10–20%).
What We're Looking For
- 2–4 years of professional culinary experience (line cook, sous chef, pastry chef, or similar).
- Passion for teaching, mentoring, and developing others.
- Strong communication and organizational skills.
- Knowledge of food safety and sanitation best practices.
- Comfortable speaking to groups and leading hands-on instruction.
- Culinary degree is a plus, but not required.
- Previous training or leadership experience is preferred but not required.
- Experience with Microsoft Office, Teams, and Zoom is helpful.
Why You'll Love This Role
- Monday–Friday daytime schedule with significantly better work-life balance than traditional restaurant roles.
- Stay hands-on in the kitchen while building valuable leadership and training experience.
- Join the nation's largest river cruise line with opportunities for long-term career growth.
- Work in a collaborative, supportive environment where your expertise is valued.
- Travel opportunities to visit our fleet across the country.
- Make a lasting impact by helping launch the careers of new culinary professionals.
If you're ready to take the next step in your culinary career and enjoy helping others succeed, apply today and become part of a team that's committed to delivering exceptional hospitality and unforgettable experiences aboard America's finest ships.
