Are you a barista looking to take the next step in your career? Do you have an interest in tech or maintenance? Do you have a keen eye for detail and strong organisational skills?
At Climpsons, part of our offering for our wholesale customers is to support and assist with maintenance and technical advice on equipment, as well as onboarding new customers who may want new or upgraded equipment (This may be coffee machines, grinders, water filters or filter coffee machines). We have an exciting opportunity for the right person to join our team, working alongside the technical maintenance and logistics teams.
