  • Effectively utilize a computer to log all roast curve data on the Cropster application
  • Meet defined reference curve targets for the full menu of coffees roasted on the Loring
  • Maintain safety requirements for each shift such as taking out the chaff on a regular basis, replacing coffee barrel liners, and lifting heavy things with care & caution
  • Report any/all machine issues to the Director of Roasting as they arise for quick problem-solving
  • Ask for help whenever necessary

  • Work with the production crew to expedite fulfilment of orders in a timely manner
  • Help set up or break down/clean the QC Lab after group tastings when called upon to do so

Relevant Skills, knowledge & ability

  • Ability to focus on small details within a task without interaction or supervision
  • Ability to shift between working collaboratively (sharing goals with the roasting & production team) and working independently (while actively roasting)
  • Self-motivated: find meaning and value in repetitive tasks and physical labor
  • Patient and kind with yourself and your teammates

Requirements

  • English
  • Safety (equipment, food) and/or efficiency training preferred but not required (forklift, OSHA compliance, HACCP, etc).
