Job description

Chef Collective is hiring for a hybrid production assistant / driver position! We are looking for someone to join the production team to assemble orders in the morning (including picking inventory items and cutting/wrapping cheese) then seamlessly transition to hopping behind the wheel of our delivery vehicles to get those orders out to the chefs who need them!

If you’re an experienced driver who would like to branch out a bit from behind the wheel, this could be the perfect position for you!

ABOUT US:

We are a Brooklyn based boutique distributor of cheese, charcuterie and other specialty foods working with the best chefs and restaurants in NYC.

We believe in a "be nicer, be better, not bigger" philosophy; quality is our biggest focus, whether it is quality product, quality people, quality of life. Our team is small and we are self-starters who believe in treating all people with respect, and working as hard as the people we work for (Artisan Producers and Chefs). If you are interested in good food, have an endless curiosity for learning, and are comfortable wearing many hats, (or driving gloves!) you have found your home!

ABOUT YOU:

• Must have clean driving record and experience driving in NYC.
• Be comfortable driving a Sprinter Van (no CDL required)
• Good knowledge of NYC streets and how to quickly get around a SERIOUS PLUS
• Please be able to speak, read and write English

• Self-motivated and able to work independently, figure out what needs to be done and accomplish it.
