Head Roaster

We’re looking for an experienced roaster to take the lead at Ue Coffee Roasters. You may already be working as a Head Roaster, or you could be an ambitious Assistant Roaster who feels ready to step up, take more ownership and make the next move in your career. This is a hands-on role for someone who knows their way around a roastery, cares deeply about quality and wants the opportunity to shape how a roasting operation develops. You’ll be responsible for the day-to-day roasting and production operation, from green coffee arriving through the doors to finished coffee being packed and ready to leave. You’ll roast, cup, develop profiles, plan production and lead a small team, while working closely with our Head of Coffee and directors. We’ve been roasting coffee in Oxfordshire since 2009 and have built a strong wholesale and online business. The foundations are already here, but there is plenty of room for the right person to bring fresh ideas, improve how we work and put their own stamp on the roastery. This isn’t a role where you’ll sit behind a desk and manage from a distance. We want someone who enjoys being involved, getting stuck in and helping the team produce consistently great coffee every day.
