Job Title: Cheesemonger & Delivery Driver
Location: Vancouver, BC (Kitsilano & East Vancouver)
Position Type: Full-Time (37–40 hours per week)
Compensation: Starting at $20.00/hour (with scheduled increases at 3 and 12 months)
About the Role
Does food get you excited? Are you a people person who loves helping customers? Does spending your day tasting and talking about cheese sound awesome to you?
les amis du FROMAGE is a family owned and operated company with two locations in Vancouver. We’ve been voted Vancouver’s Best Cheese Shop by readers of the Georgia Straight every year for more than a decade, and we're recognized by Vancouver Magazine as one of the city's top suppliers to restaurants and hotels.
We are looking for a reliable full time Cheesemonger & Delivery Driver to join our team. In this dual role, you will get the best of both worlds: working behind our busy cheese counter offering "Cut to Order" service, and driving our delivery van to handle transfers between stores and drop-offs for our wholesale customers.
What You’ll Do
- On the Road: Drive our company delivery van to manage stock transfers between stores and deliver orders directly to our wholesale customers.
- Behind the Counter: Serve retail customers in our shop with friendly, "Cut to Order" service.
- In the Shop: Weigh, label, and package cheeses; stock coolers, shelves, and displays; prepare orders; and assist with general cleaning and maintenance.
What We’re Looking For
- Driving Skills: Clean drivers abstract
- Full-Time Commitment: Able to work 5 shifts per week. Because cheese knowledge takes time, we need a consistent commitment to get you fully trained (this is not a part-time, seasonal,
or short-term role).
- Availability: Weekend hours are required to grow within this position.
- Physical Fitness: You must be able to lift up to 25kg, stay on your feet most of the day, and work in cold environments like a walk-in cooler or freezer for short periods.
- Core Skills: Strong communication skills, basic math skills, and a valid driver's license with a clean record to operate the company van.
- Equipment Use: Ability to learn and use commercial equipment, including our POS system, scales, slicers, and packaging equipment.
Bonus Points For:
- Wine Knowledge: Our customers ask a lot of questions about pairings!
- Food Nerd Status: We’re food nerds too—passion goes a long way here.
- Food Safe Certification
Perks & Benefits
- Great Hours: Daytime hours only—absolutely no evening shifts!
- Health & Wellness: Extended health benefits after 6 months.
- Discounts: A great 20% discount on all store products.
- Work Culture: A friendly, respectful, and passionate team setting.
Job Types: Full-time, Permanent Pay: From $20.00 per hour
Benefits
- Casual dress
- Dental care
- Disability insurance

Ability to commute/relocate:
- Vancouver, BC: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (required)
Application question(s):
- Do you have a valid BC Drivers license?
- Are you looking for full time work? We need a 5 day commitment, otherwise it takes too long to train someone.
- Are you legally eligible to work in Canada?
- Christmas time is busy for us. Are you able to work through to December 24th?
Language:
- English (required)
