Why Work Here?

The role offers a stable Monday–Friday schedule on a morning shift, with no rotation or weekend work, supporting work-life balance. Team members are eligible for a comprehensive group benefits program, three weeks of paid vacation to start, and a vacation purchase program that adds flexibility. There is also one paid volunteer day each year, reflecting a strong commitment to community involvement, and growth opportunities within a Canadian business that values giving back. Additional perks include employee pricing on products, free on-site parking, and the unique experience of working in a facility filled with the aroma of coffee throughout the day.

Work Workplace

The work environment features a Monday–Friday schedule with a standard shift from 6:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with occasional earlier starts as early as 5:00 a.m. as needed. You will work within a smaller, collaborative team, including a production group and a maintenance team of three. The facility is warm but not excessively hot and is characterized by the pleasant smell of coffee throughout the day.
