About Hy-Vee

At Hy-Vee, we believe the shortest distance between two people is a smile. We're seeking people with a passion for customer service, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to being part of a team that strives to make our customers' lives easier, healthier and happier.

Understand and troubleshoot department equipment and coordinate maintenance as needed

Conduct department inventory and manage product pre-orders

Maintain compliance with Hy-Vee's dress code, hygiene standards, and all company policies

Assist in other store areas and take on special projects as needed

You'll receive direction and support from: Store Director, Store Manager, Assistant Managers of Perishables, Store Operations, and Health Wellness Home, and Food Service Director

Your Skills

To be successful in this role, you'll need to be able to:

Deliver outstanding customer service and inspire your team to do the same

Lead, motivate, and develop a team in a fast-paced food service environment

Solve practical problems and make sound decisions with a variety of variables

Use basic math skills, including fractions, decimals, and percentages

Communicate clearly in writing and verbally with customers, employees, and vendors

Handle confidential information, including employee compensation, sales data, and inventory reports, with discretion

High school diploma or equivalent required; one or more years of related work experience preferred

Where applicable to the role: perform repetitive motions associated with dough mixing, scaling, and proofing

Ability to unload, lift, stock, and rotate incoming truck freight and merchandise

Working Environment

This is a fast-moving, hands-on role where no two days are the same.

Safety is always a priority, and training is provided to help ensure a safe and supportive work environment.
