The role of Butcher at Allen Brothers is a critical position within this rapidly growing organization. Butchers contribute directly to the company’s success by preparing specialty cuts of meat efficiently and meticulously to meet and exceed customer expectations. The position demands precision, speed, and attention to detail to ensure product quality and customer satisfaction. Working closely with production teams, the butcher handles products from selection based on pick tickets through cutting to meet exact customer specifications, and finally to packaging and stock replenishment.

Butchers are responsible not only for the physical preparation of the meat but also for maintaining the integrity and safety of the product throughout the process. This includes adhering strictly to federal, state, and local guidelines such as HACCP, OSHA, and GMP standards, ensuring a clean and orderly work area, and promptly reporting any product damage. The position also requires following company policies and procedures diligently.

The ideal candidate for the butcher position will have at least a high school diploma or GED and prior experience in a food processing environment, although one year or more of relevant work experience is preferred. The butcher should demonstrate a strong work ethic, a commitment to quality, and a willingness to take direction to achieve the company's high standards. Being supportive of peers and embodying the company’s C.H.E.F.S. values—curious and creative, hungry for food and results, entrepreneurial, forward-thinking and flexible, and supportive—are essential traits for thriving in this role.
