Job Description
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Master Butcher to join our team at Craven Cottage CC, one of South Africa’s most respected meat brands. As a key member of our production team, you will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of meat production, including dry ageing and wet ageing, portioning, and retail product development.
Key Responsibilities
- Full carcass and primal breakdown – beef, lamb, pork, poultry
- Run the dry ageing and wet ageing programme: temperature, humidity, rotation, trimming, yield tracking
- Portion and prepare restaurant cuts to spec – consistency, weight accuracy, presentation
- Develop and produce a retail meat range for stores – marinated cuts, burger patties, braai packs, steak boxes, signature value-added products
- Own retail product quality: vacuum sealing, packaging, labelling, shelf-life management, and presentation standards
- Maximise yield across both channels – what doesn’t go to the restaurant becomes premium retail, not waste
- Manage stock rotation, cold chain, and minimise shrinkage across all protein lines
- Train and supervise junior butchers on cutting standards, production consistency, and food safety
- Work with management on costing, yield percentages, and new product development
- Maintain HACCP compliance, hygiene standards, and equipment care
Requirements
- Qualified master butcher with 10+ years in a production or fine dining environment
- Expert knowledge of beef primal cuts, grading, and portioning (SA and international standards)
- Proven dry ageing and wet ageing experience
- Experience developing retail-ready meat products – marinades, value-added lines, consumer packaging
- Understanding of yield management – tracking inputs vs outputs and optimising use of every cut
- Strong food safety knowledge – HACCP, cold chain, hygiene compliance
- Ability to lead and train a team to a consistent daily standard
- Physical fitness – hands-on, on your feet, cold environment
- Multi-outlet experience – supplying several venues from one central facility
- Charcuterie, biltong, curing, or smoking experience
- Experience with ERP or stock systems for ordering and inventory
- Understanding of coal-fire and wood-fire cooking and how it affects cut selection
