Coffee Roaster

Are you passionate about coffee, disciplined in your craft, and eager to grow within the specialty coffee industry? Dutch Colony Coffee Co. is looking for a dedicated and quality-driven Coffee Roaster to join our growing family.

As a Coffee Roaster, you’ll be entrusted with transforming green coffee into exceptional roasted coffee—batch by batch—with precision, consistency, and care. You’ll work closely with our Coffee Director and Production & Logistics Manager to uphold our quality standards, support production goals, and continually refine our roasting program.

Dutch Colony Coffee Co. is an award-winning specialty coffee company with a state-of-the-art roasting facility. We also operate retail outlets ranging from coffee bars to full kitchen concepts—all built around a commitment to craft, hospitality, and excellence.

Key Responsibilities:

• Roast coffee with consistency according to pre-established profiles and quality standards
• Monitor, log, and analyze roast data using software (e.g., Cropster)
• Assist in green coffee inventory management and organization
• Conduct and participate in routine cuppings and quality control sessions
• Perform daily and scheduled maintenance on roasting and production equipment
• Support the packaging and fulfillment of roasted coffee and other retail products
• Assist with general production and logistics work as required

What We're Looking For:

• At least 1 year of roasting experience on a Loring S35 or similar commercial roasting machine
• Solid understanding of the roasting process, from green to cup, with a strong emphasis on consistency and quality
• Previous barista experience is essential; cupping and sensory skills are a must
• Familiarity with SCA cupping protocols and the ability to lead and document quality control sessions
• Strong sense of discipline, attention to detail, and ability to work independently
• Comfortable with system-driven workflows and using digital platforms for reporting and tracking production
• Able to lift and move heavy bags of green coffee (up to 60kg) and stand for long hours
• Possessing a valid Class 3 driving license with a clean record is a bonus

Who You Are:

• You care deeply about quality and craft
• You're eager to learn, improve, and take ownership of your work
• You value consistency, punctuality, and teamwork
• You're looking for a long-term role with opportunities to grow and deepen your skills in roasting and coffee
