Great Jones 

Great Jones is opening soon on High Street, Armadale.

About the Role

• Managing high-volume coffee service without compromising quality.
• Maintaining a clean, organised and efficient coffee station.
• Serving beer, wine and cocktails in accordance with RSA requirements.
• Delivering genuine, warm hospitality to every guest.
• Supporting the wider front-of-house team when required.

We're Looking For Someone Who

• Has at least 2 years' specialty coffee experience.
• Has worked in high-volume, fast-paced cafés.
• Produces consistently strong latte art and excellent milk texture.
• Has an excellent understanding of espresso extraction, grinder adjustments and workflow.
• Stays calm, organised and positive under pressure.
• Takes pride in quality, cleanliness and attention to detail.
• Holds a current Victorian RSA certificate.
• Is available to work full-time, including weekends.

What We Offer

• A full-time position with stable hours.
• Competitive remuneration based on experience.
• The opportunity to be part of an exciting new venue from day one.
• A supportive team committed to quality, professionalism and continual development.
• A workplace where exceptional coffee and genuine hospitality are at the heart of everything we do.

If you're passionate about specialty coffee, love working in a fast-paced environment and want to help shape one of Melbourne's most exciting new hospitality venues, we'd love to hear from you.
