Chocolate Crafter - Manoa Chocolate Factory Production

Assistant Chocolate Maker - Full-Time Applicants ONLY

Join our team and master the art of bean-to-bar chocolate making. We don't just run machines; we craft local chocolate from the raw bean to the finished bar. The success of our chocolate relies on a blend of sophisticated industrial technology and hands-on craftsmanship. If you take pride in technical precision and love seeing a finished product go from your hands to a customer, we want you on our production line.

Responsibilities:

• Operate commercial-scale cacao processing and packaging equipment.
• Maintain strict sanitation of all hand tools and machinery.
• Measure, weigh, and transfer ingredients with high accuracy.
• Record detailed data for food safety and FDA regulations.
• Execute the full production cycle: from sorting raw materials to melting, molding, and wrapping.

What You’ll Do:

• The Craft: Sort, roast, and winnow raw cacao beans to perfection.
• The Science: Operate industrial mills and refiners to create smooth, high-quality chocolate.
• The Finish: Master the technical skills of tempering, molding, and wrapping bars for the shelf.
• The Standards: Maintain a "surgical-level" clean environment (FDA/Food Safety) to ensure every bar is perfect.

Qualifications:

• Proactive "Self-Starter": You don’t need a checklist to stay productive; you anticipate the next step in the production cycle and jump in where help is needed most.
• Rock-Solid Reliability: You are a teammate we can count on—someone who values punctuality, communicates proactively, and brings a helpful, collaborative energy to every shift.
• Quality-Focused: You take pride in the final product, ensuring every bar is wrapped neatly, every measurement is exact, and your workspace remains spotless.
• Physicality: Ability to stand for long periods, lift up to 30 lbs regularly, and work in a dynamic factory environment (including noise, varying temperatures, and chocolate aromas).

What You’ll Gain:

• Hands-on training in industrial food manufacturing and chocolate science.
• Professional experience with FDA/Health Department compliance and food safety protocols.
• A collaborative team environment where your initiative is noticed and rewarded.
