Job Description

Calling all meat mavens and chop champions! We're on the hunt for a Head Butcher who can bring the sizzle to our meat department. If you can turn a cow into a culinary masterpiece with a single swipe of your trusty cleaver, then we want you on our team.

Responsibilities:

• Carving up cows, pigs, and chickens with surgical precision
• Training new butchers to become meat wizards (or at least, competent apprentices)
• Tasting all the meats to ensure quality control (we mean, someone has to do it, right?)
• Keeping our meat case organized and looking fabulous (no one likes a messy butcher shop)
• Being a team player and helping out wherever needed (no task is too big or small, except maybe cleaning the meat grinder)

Requirements:

• A minimum of 1 year of meat cutting experience
• A love for all things meat (yes, even liver)
• A sense of humor (because working in a meat department can be pretty punny)
• A commitment to food safety and sanitation (no one wants a trip to the hospital for food poisoning)

What’s in it for you:

• Industry leading pay
• Working with the top culinary, business, and grocery talent in Canada
• Huge opportunity for growth across all business units and to the executive team for expansion

So, if you're ready to join a team of meat-loving misfits and help us create the finest cuts of meat this side of the slaughterhouse, apply today! And don't forget to bring your cleaver.
