Roastery Assistant

COULD YOU BE OUR NEW ROASTERY ASSISTANT?

We are looking for a new Roastery Assistant to join our roastery team in Bristol. If you’re passionate about all things coffee, looking to take the next step in your coffee career and like the sound of being part of one of the best teams in the coffee industry, we’d love to hear from you.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Roastery Assistant is an essential and valued part of the Extract Coffee Roasters team. If successful you’ll make the day to day running of a busy production facility possible by your flexibility and ability to lend a hand when needed. We’re looking for a team player with a can-do attitude to problem solving.

Duties for this role include packing coffee by hand, daily data recording and reporting and general roastery daily cleaning and maintenance. You’ll also be trained on how to run and maintain packing machinery and roastery equipment. This is a physical role that requires heavy lifting, and support and training will be given to ensure your safety.

Extract is an open-plan roastery, so the roastery floor is always on display and it’s common to see customers in the roastery for meetings and training. With this in mind, you should be tidy, enthusiastic about delivering an incredible customer experience and ready to welcome customers into the roastery at all times.

Our roastery team pride themselves on a commitment to coffee excellence so part of your role will include taking part in coffee tastings as part of our quality assurance procedures.

We’re looking for someone with coffee experience, this is a great role for someone with barista experience looking for a new challenge in their coffee career. Whilst previous roastery or warehousing experience would be an advantage, full training will be provided.
