Another part of the role is keeping the department organized, stocked, and operating smoothly. You'll use equipment such as knives, grinders, and saws to prepare products, monitor freshness, and maintain clean work areas that meet food safety standards.

  • Attention to Detail: Accuracy in portioning, packaging, labeling, and maintaining product quality
  • Product Knowledge: Familiarity with meat cuts, preparation methods, and cooking recommendations
  • Sanitation Awareness: Knowledge of cleaning procedures and safe food handling practices
  • Organization & Time Management: Managing workflow while maintaining clean and orderly work areas
  • Merchandising Awareness: Maintaining well-stocked and visually consistent meat displays
  • Operational Awareness: Following company policies, safety requirements, and regulatory guidelines
  • Physical Capability: Comfort with standing for extended periods, working in cold environments, and lifting up to 75 lbs.

Requirements :

  • Must be 18 years of age or older
