Bite (formerly known as The Syrup Company) was founded in September 2018 with the mission of creating unique beverages together with leading industry professionals. We handcraft the highest quality organic syrup and non-alcoholic alternatives. We use only raw ingredients - never any concentrates, preservatives, thickeners or colourings. Combining many years of experience of the founders, we were able to develop a portfolio of flavors that are very familiar, yet experimental, finding the right balance between the known and the new.

We are currently looking to expand our team with a production assistant. Prior experience in the same role is not mandatory, but basic knowledge of food production in any setting is a must, and a background in the food and beverages industry is a plus. If you are motivated, eager to constantly learn and share our fascination for taste, then this is the right role for you.

THE ROLE

Working closely with the R&D manager, your core role will be to assist with the production of our recipes:

• You will be processing ingredients, testing liquids, updating control records, and packaging and labelling our products.

• You will learn everything about how to make each of the component of our drinks from start to finish, including infusions, extractions, stabilization and pasteurization.

• The job also includes helping with cleaning and maintaining our equipment and keep the production space HACCP compliant.

• You will have an active day and there might be some lifting at times (sugar bags weigh 10 kg).

The role will be part time and based out of our production space in Hvidovre, two minutes away from the s-train station. You’re welcome to apply as a student and we can accommodate most requests to fulfil SU requirements and you can have a rather flexible schedule.

Whilst this is initially an assistant position, we are looking for someone with the skills, knowledge and work ethic to fit the team and potentially grow into a full-time position. The list of responsibilities can grow quickly depending on your ambition. We have big plans and resources to expand, and the job is a catalyst to a more senior position as our company and staff grow.

REQUIREMENTS & ATTRIBUTES

It is essential that you have some experience producing or handling food or beverages. Ideally you will have some knowledge in either the technical or theoretical side of food production. Any relevant academic qualifications would be a plus but are not necessary.

You are passionate about food and drinks, are a pro-active problem solver, and you are the type of person that powers through and finds a way to get things done. A positive attitude, organisation, and energy are key attributes.

It is vital that you can fit into the company culture. You are positive, have a sense of humour and enjoy a flat hierarchy structure where your input is as valuable as everybody else. If this is you, we are looking forward to hear from you!

The position is to be fulfilled by the second week of October and we will look through the application on October 3rd.
