When childhood friends Holly and Shawn stepped away from their corporate careers to start Rook Coffee in 2010, their mission was simple: make people feel special. Since the beginning, operating out of a humble 300-square-foot shack, Rook has focused on offering specialty coffees that inspire genuine, human connections.
Today, we are looking for energetic and hard-working individuals to continue building those connections. This role is based in our brewery, the heart of our operation where we brew our amazing coffee and cold brew products. Here, team members play a critical role in the production process, working alongside roasters and brewers to maintain strict safety and quality standards.
No prior coffee experience is necessary; we provide full training! This is a hands-on, part-time position ideal for someone who loves being active and is eager to learn the intricacies of the coffee roasting and cold brewing process. You will be the backbone of our production floor, ensuring our products meet Rook's highest standards from start to finish.
Your day will involve producing cold brew, managing inventory of green coffee, and handling the logistics of receiving and organizing supplies. You will also be responsible for the meticulous care of our equipment, including routine maintenance, cleaning, and organization of mash tuns, kegs, taps, lines, roasters, and packaging machinery. Additionally, you will assist with merchandise organization and distribution.
We value character as much as capability. We are seeking individuals who are nice, likable, approachable, and proactive. If you are a positive, patient, sociable, reliable, and honest team player with a desire to work at Rook for a minimum of six months, we'd love to hear from you. Weekend availability and the ability to lift and move a minimum of 50 lbs are required.
We believe in taking care of our team. Benefits include free coffee while working, a discount program on coffee, cold brew, merchandise, and food, as well as paid time off (including sick and vacation time) and health benefits for eligible team members. We also offer clear advancement opportunities for those who grow with us.
