Job Description

About us

At Allpress we are espresso specialists, roasting and serving beautiful coffee in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Japan and Singapore. We’re a team of dedicated people who believe in flavour first and care deeply about our customers.

About your new role

We’re looking for a Production & Distribution Assistant to join our Melbourne roastery team based in Reservoir, helping keep things running smoothly behind the scenes and our coffee making its way to customers across Australia.

Working across production, packing and distribution, you’ll be right in the middle of the action, preparing customer orders, keeping stock moving and lending a hand with the roasting process. It’s a hands‑on role for someone who likes being on their feet, working alongside a great team and taking pride in getting things done well.

A day in the life

• Prepare and pack finished products ready to make their way to our customers
• Keep things moving on the packaging line, packing bagged coffee into boxes
• Check inbound deliveries and accurately count, record and report stock movements
• Lend a hand loading green coffee into the roasting process, including handling sacks and bulk bags
• Help keep the roastery tidy, organised and running smoothly
• Follow health, safety and manual handling procedures to keep yourself and the team safe
• Pitch in with the team wherever needed because no two days in the roastery are exactly the same

About you

If you’ve spent some time in warehousing, production or packaging, even better. An interest in specialty coffee definitely helps too. You’ll be someone who:

• Has experience in warehousing and/or packaging line operations
• Has a good eye for detail and takes pride in getting things right
• Is comfortable using basic computer programs, including Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheets
• Brings a positive, collaborative attitude and is always happy to pitch in
• Is able to safely lift and move loads of up to 18kg
• Is comfortable safely handling 60–70kg green coffee sacks using the appropriate equipment
• Has a strong focus on safety and looks out for the people around them

A valid driver’s licence and reliable transport are preferred, and a forklift licence and/or reach forklift experience is a bonus.

Working at Allpress

Alongside a great team culture, we offer a range of perks including as much coffee as you’d like while you’re at work, 250g of beans to take home each week, a free and confidential Employee Assistance Program, a wellbeing allowance, volunteer leave, and opportunities to learn and grow.
