A rare prospect to bring your passion for flavour and craftsmanship into the world of bean-to-bar chocolate making at the Mörk Chocolate Cacao Roastery & Chocolate Foundry in North Melbourne.

The opportunity

We're looking for someone with a genuine passion for flavour, a natural curiosity and an appreciation for the craft to join our dedicated chocolate team.

You'll be immersed in the world of bean-to-bar chocolate making, working with cacao from the raw bean through to roasting, winnowing and refining. Through regular tastings and exploring cacao from different origins, you'll develop your understanding of flavour and discover how each stage of the process influences the character of the chocolate we produce. It's an opportunity to develop a deep appreciation for cacao and the craft behind exceptional chocolate.

You may come from a background in specialty coffee roasting, winemaking or chocolate production, or another craft where flavour, quality and attention to detail are important. What matters most is an appreciation for the process, a willingness to learn and the drive to become truly skilled in what you do.

You'll enjoy the hands-on nature of the work, from working with raw ingredients and operating machinery to caring for the equipment that brings our chocolate to life. You'll take pride in every stage of production, bringing a practical approach,



attention to detail and a genuine appreciation for the work behind the finished product.

We're looking for someone who doesn't just want to know how things are done, but why. Someone who is curious, asks questions and wants to understand the finer details of the craft. As your skills develop, you'll have the opportunity to take greater ownership of the chocolate-making process and play an important role in maintaining the quality and consistency of what we produce.

What you don't know about bean-to-bar, we can teach. But passion cannot be taught — it has to come from you.
