We’re Hiring at the Ark Encounter!

by Ark Encounter on November 29, 2018

Do you want to use your love for food and the unique skills, talents, and gifts that God has given you in a gospel-driven career? Do you want to work with like-minded believers? If so, consider joining our growing team—because we’re hiring!

Last month, we introduced you to Nicki and Nick, members of our culinary services team. Today, hear from Emma to find out why she loves working for the Ark Encounter, and then learn more about our open positions.

Meet Emma

Emma has been with our culinary services team since June 2017. She enjoys working with fellow believers and getting to meet people from all over the world. As a food and beverage lead of guest interaction, she is able to talk with many of our guests and help them with any questions they may have. One of her favorite memories at the Ark Encounter was having a really good conversation with a guest and feeling like she was talking with a family member.

Emma

A typical day for Emma starts with making sure the dining room is ready for the day. Then she helps the kitchen staff get the buffet set for opening. Once Emzara’s Buffet is open, she helps guests with questions, wipes down tables, and takes dishes back to the kitchen. The culinary services team works together to provide a great dining experience for each guest and to help each other in whatever capacity is needed.

Emma

Emma’s faith has impacted her job in culinary services in many ways. She said, “God has called us to be humble. It's not about us getting the praise but him. God has called us to be servants: ‘For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more (1 Corinthians 9:19 KJV).’”
