STRIKING UP FUN SINCE 2006: 

Big Al’s first opened its doors in 2006, and yes, there’s a real Al (no, he’s not that big, but he’s pretty awesome). What started as a local establishment in Vancouver, Washington has now grown to five locations across the West Coast. While we’ve expanded, we’ve never lost our small, family-owned vibe. At Big Al’s, you get the best of both worlds: the support and structure with the personal touch and the freedom for your voice to be heard. If you want to work for a place that values your ideas and lets you be part of a close-knit team, we’re the perfect fit!

• You’ll be on your feet a lot 

• Lift up to 25 lbs? Pretty often 

• Up to 50 lbs? Pretty often 

• Over 50 lbs? Team Lift Only 

• Bending, reaching, and pushing? Yep, that too 

• Working in a hot, humid kitchen (flames and all!) 

• Quick trips into the fridge or freezer now and then 

• Loud noises, fun, and full of energy? Always!
