Cook– Chop N Block (Kamloops, BC)

Our busy butcher shop and deli is looking for an experienced cook who values creativity, takes pride in their work, and enjoys interacting with customers.

This is a daytime-focused role (a rare thing in this industry), with occasional catering and event work. You’ll be working closely with our butchery and deli teams to produce high-quality, house-made food rooted in traditional techniques and thoughtful use of whole ingredients.

If you’re looking to step out of the late-night restaurant grind and into something more hands-on, creative, and product-driven—this is that role.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

- Producing our line of ready-to-heat meals for retail (fresh and frozen)
- Maintaining a clean, full, and visually appealing retail display
- Pickling, fermenting, and preserving for retail and charcuterie use
- Building charcuterie boards and platters for customers and events
- Assisting with on-site catering and event setup (weddings, corporate, etc.)
- Working with the team to price products and track yields
- Identifying opportunities to utilize trim and secondary cuts to reduce waste and increase value
- Following and refining recipes to maintain consistency and quality

Day-to-Day Expectations

- Supporting customers with product knowledge and cooking guidance




- Assisting front-of-house when needed to keep service flowing
- Dishwashing and maintaining a clean, organized workspace
- Daily sanitation of all kitchen equipment and surfaces
- Maintaining cleanliness and organization of coolers and dry storage

What We’re Looking For

- Solid kitchen experience (professional cooking background required)
- A genuine interest in charcuterie, preservation, and whole-animal cooking
- Solid organization and attention to detail
- Someone who takes ownership of their work—this is not a “clock in, clock out” role
- Comfortable interacting with customers and representing the brand
- A team-first mindset—no ego, just pride in doing things properly

What You Get

- Primarily daytime hours
- Creative input on products that go directly to retail
- A role that blends cooking, butchery, and customer interaction
- A tight, skilled team that cares about quality
- The chance to build something, not just execute tickets
- Option for extended health benifits
