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 principles 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!

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.

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.
