Job description

Are you passionate about coffee and love meeting new people? We have an exciting opportunity to join our Technical team as our new Espresso Machine Technician

We’ve been roasting speciality coffee for over 30 years. From humble beginnings as a little coffee cart in Auckland, NZ, Allpress has evolved into a sophisticated brand that stands for flavour and service. Right from the start three core principals have formed the backbone of our business – People, Flavour and Innovation. We are united in our genuine care for each other, our customers, and our belief in what we do. We need great people who will bring their imagination, skills and most importantly, their passion to our business.

About the role

Our customers can’t provide our amazing coffee without the right machinery (premium hand‑crafted espresso machines to be exact). That’s where you come in! Combining your love for coffee and passion for problem‑solving and customer service, you will help our customers get excited about their beautiful equipment and be there in times of need.

Strong lateral thinking & troubleshooting skills are essential for this role. We are looking for somebody who has a passion for coffee and has ideally worked with a coffee machine before. Alternatively, if you have an electrical/engineering background and are mechanically minded and love nothing more than fixing what’s broken, this could be for you. Excellent time management and a head for admin are also a must.

No two days will be the same as you travel out to visit our awesome customers in cafes all over the UK. For this reason, a full driver’s licence and a willingness to travel is essential and some weekend hours will be required. We offer a 7 day a week service to our customers and on occasion need to attend to emergencies out of hours (pre 9am, post 5pm and weekends). The team take this is turns to be 'on-call' and we provide additional remuneration to be on-call.

About you

Genuinely enjoy interacting with people from all walks of life

A passion for problems solving

Exceptional time management and a head for admin

Self‑motivated

Details

Hours: 5 days per week around 40 hours per week.

Days: Monday - Friday. Weekend working is required on occasion.

Times: Normally 9-5 unless 'on call'.

Salary: £30,000-35,000 plus on call and overtime (salary is dependant on experience)

Reporting to: National Technical Manager

Experience: A love for hospitality and the coffee industry is required. No previous technical experience is required but would be very beneficial, some work with coffee machinery is essential.

Additional: A full clear driving license is essential; the successful candidate will feel comfortable driving a van in London and long distances.

This is a fantastic opportunity for somebody who already has hospitality experience and is looking to further their career in the coffee industry. We offer full training, great staff perks, a competitive salary, career development and a great company culture.

Benefits

• Full role specific training
• An employee assistance programme – supporting your mental health
• Good work life balance
• 33 days of annual leave
• Access to LinkedIn Learning
• Enhanced parental leave
• London Living wage and daytime working
• Fully paid access to gympass
• Gender affirmation leave
• Vast career development
• A transparent and friendly company culture
